Biography
Milan Antal (1935–1999) was a Slovak astronomer.
While working at Skalnaté Pleso Observatory and at the Toruń Centre for Astronomy from 1971–1988, he discovered 17 minor planets, including the asteroid 1807 Slovakia and the two unnamed Jupiter trojans (5025) 1986 TS6 and (7641) 1986 TT6. A distinguished observer of comets and minor planets, he has determined exact astrometric positions from photographic plates for many thousands of small Solar System bodies.
The main-belt asteroid 6717 Antal, discovered by German astronomers Freimut Börngen and Lutz Schmadel in 1990, is named in his honour.
