Description

edit

This template (M+J) simply combines {{MPC}} (Minor Planet Center) and {{JPL}} (JPL Small-Body Database) into a single template, used 1000 times in each of the 500+ pages in the partial list of minor planets, see LoMP. The only, unnamed, required parameter is the object's minor-planet designation or provisional designation. The template can also be used for a large number of cometary bodies. The two external links are separated by a bold middot, {{·}}.

Usage
