Editing Jurij Vega (section)

==Legacy==
[[Jurij Vega High School]] (''Gimnazija Jurija Vege'') in [[Idrija]] was founded in 1901 as the first Slovene ''[[Realschule]]''.

In 1935, the [[Vega (crater)]] on the Moon was named in his honor. In March 1993, the National Bank of Slovenia issued a 50 [[Slovenian tolar|tolar]] banknote featuring Jurij Vega.<ref>{{cite web|title=Slovenia 50 tolarjev banknote 1992 Baron Jurij Bartolomej Vega|website=worldbanknotescoins.com|url=https://www.worldbanknotescoins.com/2014/05/slovenia-50-tolarjev.html}}</ref> The [[Post of Slovenia|Slovenian Post]] also issued a commemorative stamp in his honor in 1994. In 2004, Slovenia released commemorative coins marking the 250th anniversary of Vega's birth.<ref>{{cite web|website=Banka Slovenije|title=250th Anniversary of the Birth of Jurij Vega (2004)|url=https://www.bsi.si/en/banknotes-and-coins/slovenian-tolar/commemorative-editions-republic-of-slovenia/250th-anniversary-of-the-birth-of-jurij-vega-2004}}</ref>

The [[asteroid]] [[14966 Jurijvega]], discovered on July 30, 1997, was named after him. Slovenia's Vega Astronomical Society<ref>{{Cite web |title=Astronomsko društvo Vega |url=https://www.ad-vega.si/}}</ref> is named in honor of both Jurij Vega and the star [[Vega]]. However, the star Vega is not named after Jurij Vega; its name predates him by centuries.

A free, open-source physics library for 3D deformable object simulation, Vega FEM, is also named after Jurij Vega.
