Excerpt: 1909 Alekhin is an asteroid discovered on September 4, 1972 by Lyudmila Zhuravlyova. The asteroid was named in honor of Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Alekhin, a Russian-French chess champion. It is a main belt asteroid with a diameter of 17.42 kilometers. The asteroid is scheduled to occlude a 9.1 magnitude star in the Leo constellation on November 30, 2008, dimming the magnitude of both heavenly bodies for a maximum duration of 0.6 seconds. Astronomers had, as of March 2008, not predicted an optimal trajectory for the event. Lyudmila Zhuravlyova is ranked number 43 in Harvard's ranking of those who discovered minor planets. She discovered 200 minor planets, thirteen of which were co-discoveries, between 1972 and 1992.
