Strackea is asteroid #1019 and also known as 1924 QN. Strackea was discovered by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth at Heidelberg. Strackea’s orbit is characterized by a period of revolution of 965 days, a semi-major axis of 1.91 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.07, and an inclination of 26.97 degrees. Strackea belongs as a non-family background asteroid to the dynamical group Hungaria. There is an asteroid-family also named Hungaria in this group, but Strackea doesn’t belong to the Hirayama-family Hungaria, but “only” to the group Hungaria.

Strackea is named after the German astronomer Gustav Stracke. He worked in an institute, which was founded for calculating ephemerides, in Berlin. The institute was moved to Heidelberg by its eighteenth director August Kopff. Gustav Stracke lived from 1887 until 1943. So he, like us, lived in interesting times, but nothing else seems to be known about him. The only publicly available information is that he explicitly wished that no asteroid would be named after him. He made suggestions how to name asteroids instead. Many of his suggestions were used. But Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth ignored this wish several times. So he named Strackea after Gustav Stracke, decided that the asteroid #1201, that is named Strenua (the Latin word strenuus means diligent, this asteroid is of the type Xc), is named after Gustav Stracke, and then made the asteroids from #1227 until #1234 form G STRACKE with their first letters: Geranium or 1931 TD is named after a genus of flowering plants. Scabiosa or 1931 TU is named after another genus of flowering plants. Tilia is the name of asteroid #1229 or 1931 TP1 and named after the linden and lime trees. Tilia belongs to the Hirayama-family Themis. The asteroid #1230 or 1931 TX1 is named Riceia after Hugh Rice, an American amateur astronomer. (Reinmuth would probably have chosen the name of another plant if Rice wouldn’t have the name of a plant too and thus made possible to use a name, which more people recognize than would do so with a botanical name.) The next asteroid, 1931 TE2 or Auricula, is again named after a flowering plant. Then the asteroid #1232 or 1931 TF2 is named Cortusa, which is the name of a genus of plants in the family Primulaceae. 1931 TG2 or asteroid #1233 is named Kobresia after a genus of plants in the family Cyperaceae. Kobresia are bog sedges, while the family Cyperaceae means the sedges. 1931 UF or asteroid #1234 is named Elyna. This name is a synonym for Kobresia. This means the bog sedges can referred to as Kobresia as well as Elyna. The asteroid #1234 belongs to the Hirayama-family Eos and to the type K as members of the Hirayama-family Eos typically do. The asteroid #1234 would certainly have been a candidate for a playful name because of its number if it wouldn’t be used for a meta-naming instead. The British astronomer Brian Geoffrey Marsden is honoured in the same manner by the asteroids from #5694 until #5699, that don’t have the names of plants, but of scientists and artists forming BRIAN M with their initials. A sequence of twenty-eight asteroids beginning with asteroid #1054 is again named by Karl Reinmuth after plants.

Because Strackea got a name in the originally asteroid-typical feminized manner and because there isn’t publicly available information on Gustav Stracke, so the asteroid #1019 makes knowing its astrological meaning easy. The only striking feature here is ignoring the wish of the namesake. So Strackea indicates a lack of consent. I treated Strackea here because Bistro is pointing to her, thus perhaps ignoring the wish of Gustav Stracke another time.
