2136.png

From the JPL Small-Body DataBase:

Named in honor of J. U. Gunter and his publication "Tonight's Asteroids". This publication has been extraordinarily successful at interesting the general public in minor planets and has inspired countless amateur and several professional astronomers to study these objects. Name proposed by E. Fogelin; endorsed by C. M. Bardwell, D. W. E. Green and B. G. Marsden.

The symbol of this minor planet is a monogram of the letters J. U. G. over an astronomer's star-in-circle.
