Nomenclature

William Henry Fox; British photographer, physicist, archaeologist (1800-1877).
  • This name appears on LTO-81B2. It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation. Although it appears in the cumulative list of approved names printed in IAU Transactions XVB, when and how it came to be approved is not entirely clear from the IAU record. - JimMosher
