			Bode gave a paper in 1790 that this was a joined decision by many European astronomers as a memorial to an extraordinarily generous patron of scientific research and benevolent, peaceful ruler. WGSN considers this message worth to convay even without the dedication to a specific person; we named a star in the feather "Honores". It resembles the proverb "The pen is mightier than the sword", in German "Die Feder ist mächtiger als das Schwert" (the feather is mightier than the sword). Originating from an 1839 theatre play by the British author Edward Bulwer-Lytton, it emphasizes that words and communication can have a stronger and longer lasting impact than physical cruelty.
