(434325) Lautreamont Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 11 May 2004 by CSS at Catalina.
Isidore Lucien Ducasse (1846–1870), known as the Comte de Lautréamont, was a French poet born in Uruguay. His dark, surreal visions in Les Chants de Maldoror exposed the broken promises of the Age of Enlightenment. It influenced modern literature and philosophy, and laid the groundwork for the avant-garde.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 5, #28, 15), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
