He said there were celestial objects named as “Azerbaijan”, “Shamakhi Astrophysics Observatory”, “Nizami Ganjavi”, “Nasraddin Tusi”, “Huseyn Javid”, “Muslim Magomayev”, “Sorin” (Russian scientist worked in Azerbaijan), and “Ayyub Guliyev”.

Guliyev said minor planets were named mostly after the scientists and cultural figures and there were some restrictions with entitlement of the planets after the political figures. Names of the political figures can be given to the planets 100 years later only.

The International Astronomy Union is controlling entitlement of the asteroids. The Center of Minor Planets and Comets near this union include the titles in the catalogue after the discussions of the proposals and decisions made on them.
