Marek Wolf is a Czech astronomer, currently (as of March 2010) the head the Astronomický ústav, Univerzita Karlova v Praze (Astronomical Institute, Charles University of Prague).
He is a prolific discoverer of asteroids. The Minor Planet Center credits his discoveries under M. Wolf: he is sometimes confused with Max Wolf (1863–1932), a German astronomer and a very famous asteroid hunter who is credited as M. F. Wolf.
Famous quotes containing the word wolf:
“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
