An asteroid was named after TU Braunschweig. Thanks to the commitment of Karl-Heinz Glaßmeier, the new name of asteroid "1997 CW5" is "Carolowilhelmina", the traditional name of our university. As an institute with a long tradition in space science, we are particularly pleased!
More information can be found in a press release of TU Braunschweig. Several media report the naming, too, amongst others Braunschweiger Zeitung and NDR.
