Discovered on 1 June 2000 by P. G. Comba at Prescott.
Karl Georg Christian von Staudt (1798-1867), a professor at the University of Erlangen, gave the first fully rigorous treatment of projective geometry, without making use of distances, perpendiculars and angles.Naming citation (20020328/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
