Ľubor Kresák


Ľubor Kresák was a Slovak astronomer.
He discovered two comets: the periodic comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak and the non-periodic C/1954 M2.
He also suggested in 1978 that the Tunguska event was a fragment of the periodic comet Encke.
The asteroid 1849 Kresák was named in his honor.
His wife Margita Kresáková was also an astronomer.
