addressing my planet

This planet was discovered by by Kohoutek, L. at Bergedorf on Oct 26, 1971. Huge thanks to them, the people at the I.A.U. who chose my name to be attached to the planet, and everyone else who helped make this happen! This is a huge honor for me, as a casual astronomy enthusiast who doesn't have much professional experience. I appreciate all the hard work all you scientists do to make this possible!
