Takeshi Urata (浦田 武 , Urata Takeshi , 1947 – December 15, 2012) [ 1] was a Japanese astronomer . He was a prolific discoverer of asteroids , observing at Nihondaira Observatory .
In 1978 he became the first amateur to discover a minor planet in over fifty years. He named it after it his daughter, Mizuho.[ 2] His pioneering feat led to an upsurge in such discoveries. In the ten years that followed, amateurs from Japan discovered 160 minor planets.[ 3] [ 4] Urata has contributed to academic journals such as Advances in Space Research .[ 5]
Urata co-discovered the periodic comet 112P/Urata-Niijima in 1986. One of the most active amateur astronomers in Japan, he was also an editor of the Japanese Ephemerides of Minor Planets . The 1927-discovered asteroid 3722 Urata is named after him.[ 6]
