Named for Acrocephalus arundinaceus, or great reed warbler. {It belongs to the family of the Sylviidae and is on the Dutch Red List of birds endangered in the Netherlands.} (M 33792; M 34089)
The first letters of the names of minor planets (8585) to (8600) result in the well-known Latin motto “per aspera ad astra” {Through difficulties to the Stars}. This arrangement by L. D. Schmadel remained unnoticed after the publication of the new names in MPC itself.
