1950 LA. Discovered 1950 June 19 by A. G. Wilson and A. A. E. Wallenquist at Palomar.
Named for the Toltec god of matter, “the smoking mirror”, the counterpart to (1915) Quetzálcoatl, “the plumed serpent”. The two gods are the twin serpents that entwine to produce time, the opposites that display constancy and change. (M 4237)
