Comas Sola

Asteroid 1655, Comas Solá, was discovered on November 28, 1929 by Jose Comas Solá at the Fabra Observatory in Barcelona, Spain. It has a period of 4 years, 235 days.

Comas Solá (1868-1937) was the Fabra Observatory's first director and its staff named asteroid Comas Solá in his memory. He was a well-known observer of asteroids and comets for many years, discovering the short-period comet Comas Solá and 11 numbered asteroids. A crater on Mars and asteroid 1102, Pepita, are also named after him (his nickname was Pepito).

Jose Comas Solá


Asteroid Comas Sola's astrological meaning seems to be: "a close shave" (Damien Foor), disfigurement, clean-cut, to bring into conformity/nonconformity.

The glyph for Comas Solá is mine.
