This page may be a longstanding hoax.
The original contributing IP 135.214.66.241 ( talk • contribs) recently modified it to say that Lars Olsen had undergone transsexual surgery and lives as a woman. No problem, except the article says he died in 1990. [1] Or was that 1938? [2] Or perhaps 1999? [3] Or 1941, as per the original edit? [4]
There is no such comet as "C/1910 Q1", nor is there any comet whose discovery is credited to an "Olsen" or an "Olson". [5]
There were no asteroids discovered by any "L. Olsen" [6]. The only Olsen who discovered asteroids was "H. J. Fogh Olsen". No "Olson" either.
User:Larsie, who did all the year-of-death switches above, exchanged some odd cryptic messages with User:Chrispy around that same time period (late October 2004), mentioning something that shouldn't be public or something that could result in getting kicked off Wikipedia [7] [8].

Apparently he lived 120 years. (The first entry had him dying much earlier.) Presumably the Trent Observatory is at the Trent University in Ontario Canada. But that is only 40 years old. There is a notable Hamburg Observatory at Bergedorf that was completed in 1825, but he is not listed in the history
