7604 Kridsadaporn is a Mars-crossing asteroid discovered by R. H. McNaught on 31 August 1995 at Siding Spring Observatory near the town of Coonabarabran, Australia. Kridsadaporn's high orbital eccentricity of just over 0.574〔 places it within a group of objects known as Asteroids in Cometary Orbit (ACOs). Due to its unusual orbital parameters, Kridsadaporn is listed by the IAU Minor Planets Center as an Unusual Minor Planet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=IAU Minor Planets Center )〕 ==Discovery and naming== Kridsadaporn was discovered using the 0.5-m Uppsala Schmidt Telescope, as part of the Siding Spring Survey (SSS), which itself is part of a broader network of Near-Earth object search programs. The then-unnamed asteroid was initially assigned the provisional designation 1995 QY2.〔 In April 2005 it was renamed by its discoverer (Robert McNaught) in honour of Kridsadaporn Ritsmitchai, a then recently deceased friend and colleague at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University, who worked and resided at Siding Spring Observatory. Kridsadaporn (กฤษฎาพร (:krìsàdāːpʰōn), กฤษดาพร (:krìsàdāːpʰōn)) is a Thai name comprising two words: "kridsada" (กฤษฎา) of Sanskrit origin, meaning "supernatural powers, divine, celestial"; and "porn" (พร) meaning "blessing, benediction, favour". Often Thai first names are suffixed with "porn" (พร) denoting, "a blessing from the Buddha", referring to both the gift of a child, and the favour of particular attributes, referred to within the name, manifesting within the child. In Thai tradition, a child's name is chosen using complex Buddhist name giving rituals where Thai astrology is widely used, often in consultation with a Buddhist monk. Parents of a newly-born child named Kridsadaporn (กฤษฎาพร) may believe, or may accept, the name's meaning as, "a blessing from the Buddha; a child, gifted with divine qualities and supernatural powers". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「7604 Kridsadaporn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
