| An asteroid discovered at the Purple Mountain Observatory exactly ten months later was given the designation 1980 TE7. [On Oct. 2, 2001 it would be named Magnanimity, "to honor the magnanimity of people around the world in dealing with terrorist attacks like those on New York and Washington on 2001 Sept. 11, in the hope that terrorism will be considered with justice for all, not with revenge." Magnanimity means generosity and forgiveness.] ("Asteroids Named in Memory of Sept. 11 Terrorism Victims," http://www.space.com/news/asteroid_setp11_011010.html [sic] ) |
