January 07, 2023

Not to be confused with Asteroid B-612.

612 Veronika is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered on 8 October 1906 by August Kopff from Heidelberg. The reason for the name is unknown; asteroid etymologist Lutz D. Schmadel suspects that it may have been inspired by the letter code "VN" in its provisional designation, 1906 VN.[3]
