asteroid 8710 Hawley is a Main beltasteroid discovered byCharles de Saint-Aignan atLowell Observatory , examining films taken at Palomar.
=Citation from the MPCs=Named in honor of the discoverer's friend and mentor, Walter N. Hawley, a physics and astronomy teacher at Saint Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire. He is also the director of the Saint Paul's Astronomy Center, an observatory of unequaled quality at the high-school level. Hawley has observed the night sky with his students since 1972, acquainting them with such wonders as the Aurora Borealis and Messier Objects, as well as lesser wonders, such as Murphy's Law---and frostbite.
