Asteroid named for Henry Buhl Jr.
PITTSBURGH
The International Astronomical Union has announced that an asteroid now bears Henry Buhl Jr.’s name. Asteroid number “1990 AA” is now referred to as “Henrybuhl.”
Henry Buhl Jr. (1848-1927) was a Pittsburgh philanthropist who established the Buhl Foundation “for the well-being of the citizens of Pittsburgh and the County of Allegheny.” The foundation supports education, human services, youth programs, and economic development. It established Buhl Planetarium, the predecessor organization of Carnegie Science Center, in 1939.
Carnegie Science Center will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Buhl Planetarium this fall.
The festivities will include recognition of the newly named asteroid.
