Seppo Mikkola

Seppo Mikkola (born 1947) is a Finnish astronomer. He is a senior lecturer at the University of Turku and staff member at Tuorla Observatory.

Mikkola is a leading expert in celestial mechanics. He has made fundamental contributions to the theory of regularization of motion in the gravitational N-body problem.[1] Mikkola was a member of the team that determined the unusual orbit of 3753 Cruithne.

Named after him

Asteroid 3381 Mikkola

gollark: 'Tis more consistent.

gollark: So just use `!= None` and `== None`.

gollark: I suppose theoretically `is` could be more performant than `id(x) == id(y)`, but Python has NEVER cared about that.

gollark: Deleted using bees.

gollark: It's really just a bad operator which should be apiodeleted.
