Henri Debehogne
Henri Debehogne (30 December 1928 – 9 December 2007) was a Belgian astronomer and a prolific discoverer of minor planets. Biography He was born at Maillen. Debehogne worked at the Royal Observatory of Belgium (french: Observatoire Royal de Belgique) in Uccle, and specialized in astrometry of comets and minor planets. He is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the discovery of over 700 numbered minor planets, including the Trojan asteroids (6090) 1989 DJ and 65210 Stichius (the latter with Eric Walter Elst) and hundreds of asteroids of the main-belt. He died on 9 December 2007, at the age of 78 in Uccle Uccle () or Ukkel () is one of the 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium.

Minor Planet
According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is exclusively classified as neither a planet nor a comet. Before 2006, the IAU officially used the term ''minor planet'', but that year's meeting reclassified minor planets and comets into dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).Press release, IAU 2006 General Assembly: Result of the IAU Resolution votes International Astronomical Union, August 24, 2006.

2359 Debehogne
__NOTOC__ Year 359 ( CCCLIX) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Eusebius and Hypatius (or, less frequently, year 1112 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 359 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
