Juraj Tóth is a Slovak astronomer, a professor of astronomy at Comenius University in Bratislava.
He had observed the 1998 Leonid meteor shower from Modra Observatory,[2] the results of his observation was later published in the journal, Earth, Moon, and Planets.[3] His photograph of the Leonid meteor shower was credited by NASA.[4] He is a member of the International Astronomical Union and currently a professor at Comenius University in the department of astronomy.[5] He has published in numerous journals on astronomy, specialising in meteoroids. His work, Orbital Evolution of Příbram and Neuschwanstein, has been shown in the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.[6] He found in 2010 in the field expedition first piece of meteorite "Košice", which is the 14th meteorite in the world with pedigree. He is credited with the discovery and co-discovery of 16 numbered minor planets between 1998 and 2001.[1]
