Summary
Description Astraea symbol (fixed width).svg |
English:
The traditional astronomical symbol for
5 Astraea
, after
Gould, B.A. 1852, On the Symbolic Notation of the Asteroids, Astron. J., 2, 80.
As the number of asteroids grew, the symbols got more and more complex, leading to the creation of
Minor Planet Numbers
. This one, however, is still a relatively simple upside-down anchor, or, possibly, given the mythology, a highly stylised scales of justice.
