Liubov Grinishyn (b. 1955) and Irene Malinovska (b. 1967) are poetesses and lyric story writers. Living close to the Andrushivka Observatory and being friends of the observatory team, they have spent a number of nights watching the sky with a telescope and have become true amateurs of astronomy.Naming citation (20120406/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
