Browse historical events and people recorded at Cruithne in Great Britain. The records below are rendered directly from the World History Database into this page's initial HTML.
Cruithne is discovered by Duncan Waldron on a photographic plate taken with the UK Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, Australia.
