In a jointly-credited trio with Tom Gehrels and her husband Cornelis Johannes van Houten, she was an extremely prolific discoverer of many thousands of asteroids.

The trio are jointly credited with several thousand asteroid discoveries.

“it’s just that I see love as odd as wearing shoes—

And Ingrid Bergman was always impossible”
