(1861) Komenský is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on November 24, 1970 by the Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek at the Hamburg-Bergedorf observatory ( IAU code 029) in Hamburg .
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family, a group of asteroids, which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
(1861) Komenský is named after the Czech theologian , philosopher and educator Johann Amos Comenius (1592–1670).
