Life

Bella Burnasheva is possibly one of the least known, yet one of the most famous astronomers in Russian society. It is not known whether the fact that little information is known about her life was due to her decision or whether she was forced to do so by the government. The last known information without giving the year was that she had accepted a position as a systems programmer at the Crimean Observatory . She has published several astronomical research articles and helped create detailed databases on the physics of stars . Astronomers - both Russian and American - who discovered asteroids and minor planets have named them after Bella and her husband Vladislav. One such minor planet is (4427) Burnashev, which was discovered in 1971 by the Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnowa (1935–2001).
