(6736) Marchare Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 1 March 1993 by T. Urata at Oohira.
A minor planet discovered in March can appropriately be named for the March Hare, a character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice sees him and the Mad Hatter at ‘A Mad Tea-Party’, where they are talking to each other while leaning on a dormouse sleeping between them.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #13, 8), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
