Ferenc Lakits (1859–1919) was a Hungarian astronomer, teacher, and later the chief inspector of the state railways. He did considerable work in the field of astrochronology, his main contribution being the determination of the date of the Hungarian conquest on the basis of the solar eclipse observed in Byzantium in 891.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #2, 14), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
