  Minor Planet 33529 Named for Arne Henden

Minor Planet 33529 has been named "Henden" in honor of our own AAVSO Director, Arne Henden!

Here is how the citation reads:

33529 Henden

Discovered 1999 Apr. 19 by C. W. Juels at Fountain Hills.

"Arne A. Henden (b. 1950) coauthored Astronomical Photometry in 1982. He is currently director of the American Association of Variable Star Observers, and he served on the staff of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, from 1993 to 2005."

Thank you C.W. Juels! Congratulations to Arne!
