3201 Sijthoff (6560 P-L) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on September 24, 1960 by Cornelis Johannes van Houten, Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld and Tom Gehrels at Palomar Observatory.
The asteroid is named after Albert Georg Sijthoff, publisher of the Haagsche Courant, who promoted the popularization of astronomy in the Netherlands.[1] The Sijthoff family backed the 1934 construction of the Sijthoff Planetarium in the Hague which burned down in 1975 and was replaced by the Omniversum.[2]
