39741 Komm

39741 Komm, provisional designation 1997 AT₆, is a stony asteroid and eccentric Mars-crosser from the innermost regions of the asteroid belt, about 2 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by American astronomer Roy Tucker at the U.S. Goodricke-Pigott Observatory in Tucson, Arizona, on 9 January 1997.

The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.4–2.9 AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,177 days). Its orbit shows a high eccentricity of 0.35 and is tilted by 6 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a provisional rotation period of almost 6 hours and an assumed albedo of 0.20.

The minor planet was named after American helioseismologist, Rudolf Walter Komm (b.1957), who contributed in the study of solar activity.

Weg!

Weg! (literal English translation: Away!; title of English-language version: Go!) is an Afrikaans language outdoor and travel magazine. It was first published in April 2004 and is owned by the Media24 division of Naspers. The magazine focuses on affordable destinations in South Africa and the rest of Africa.

In addition to travel articles, the magazine also contains photographic portfolios focusing on nature and recipes, as well as car, book, music and outdoor equipment reviews.

The original name of the magazine was Wegbreek (Break Away), but it was forced to change its name after a court case with Ramsay, Son & Parker, the publishers of the rival Getaway magazine.

In February 2006, the magazine achieved a circulation of 77,174 (as audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulations of South Africa), making it the largest outdoor and travel magazine in any language in South Africa. This position was consolidated by the launch of its English language sister magazine, go! in June of the same year, which resulted in a combined circulation figure of 113,248 by November 2006.
