- Mikheil Alekandres Vashakidze(August 15, 1909 - November 27, 1956) was a Georgian astronomer working in the Georgian astrophysical observatory from 1936 to 1956. He and Victor Alekseyevich Dombrovsky (September 30, 1913 – February 1, 1972) each independently discovered the polarized nature of radiation from the Crab Nebula in 1952 and 1953, which was due to the presence of a synchrotron mechanism. They worked at Byurakan Observatory. Vashakidze also created a new method for learning the distribution of the stars in space, which is now known as the Vashakidze–Oort method.
- Although Vashakidze appears in the cumulative list of approved names in IAU Transactions XVB, it is not clear precisely when and where this libration zone feature name was approved. - JimMosher JimMosher
