Named in honor of Harold A. Weaver (1953– ) for his work on the chemical composition of comets and for pioneering the use of the Hubble Space Telescope for cometary studies. His combination of infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy has demonstrated the way in which different wavelength regimes must be combined to obtain a proper picture of the composition of comets.
