Asteroid 1958, Chandra, was discovered on September 24, 1970 by C. U. Cesco at the Yale-Columbia Southern Station, El Leoncito. It has a period of 5 years, 170 days and is about 25 kilometters in diameter.
It was named for Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, the Indian-born distinguished service professor at the University of Chicago, generally regarded as the world's leading theoretical astrophysicist.
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
Its astrological meaning: creating something monumental (literally or figuratively speaking)."Chandra" is also Sanskrit for "moon," so there is the possibility that asteroid Chandra relates to Moon-related things like moon rocks, moon flights and lunar astronomy.
