(10523) D'Haveloose Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 22 September 1990 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
José D'Haveloose (1922–1996) was a surgeon in the West Flanders town of Tielt. He was magnificent in his efforts to relieve suffering, but his own neck injuries finally made him unable to operate any more. In his later days he developed a great love for astronomy.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 4, #11, 5), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
