Jean Meeus (born 12 December 1928) is a Belgian meteorologist and amateur astronomer specializing in celestial mechanics, spherical astronomy, and mathematical astronomy.[1][2]

Meeus studied mathematics at the University of Leuven in Belgium, where he received the Degree of Licentiate in 1953. From then until his retirement in 1993, he was a meteorologist at Brussels Airport.[2]

Awards and honors

In 1986, he won the Amateur Achievement Award of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.[3] The main belt asteroid 2213 Meeus was named after him by the International Astronomical Union in 1981 for his contributions to the field.[1][2]
