Scientific paper

There is a renewed interest in the Solar System and its planets. Incredible photos are transmitted back trom distant space probes and on-site physical investigations have become possible. An increasing number ot new planets are being disco vered with large, ground-based telescopes. However, most ot the known objects lie in or near the plane ot the Earth's orbit, the Ecliptic. Little is known about the objects that presumably exist high above or tar below this plane. How many are there and how did they get there? Drs. Lutz Schmadel and Joachim Schubart trom Astronomisches Recheninstitut in Heidelberg, Fed. Rep. ot Germany, describe a search programme with the ESO Schmidt telescope that aims at the discovery ot out-ot-the-Ecliptic minor planets.
