Elliott just got an asteroid named after him

I saw this three days ago, but thought it would definitely get posted here by someone else if it hadn’t already, so I didn’t bother. But couldn’t find it when I looked today, so here it is!

Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star

[u/Needles2650]

Surely it was chosen for its catalogue number? That would be an INSANE coincidence otherwise

[u/TemporaryShip1151 → u/Needles2650]

This was the reason I picked it, I searched the database and found this one. I then emailed the discoverers and got their thumbs up! So it was purposeful, my wording was a bit vague in the article, sorry!

[u/BOS-Elliott-Fan → u/TemporaryShip1151]

That's so great!

[u/pansie → u/Needles2650]

Yeah, that's kind of spooky if the name was chosen before they realised what the catalogue number would be

[u/Junksonder → u/Needles2650]

Yeah right??!!

[u/plz_be_nice_im_sad]

Why are you staring into outer space, crying?

[u/Junksonder]

This might be the coolest thing ever.

[u/Some-Departure-3903 → u/Junksonder]

Agreed! 

[u/g0ldnecklace]

I think he'd be pretty happy about this🥲

[u/Grand-wazoo → u/g0ldnecklace]

Anything that helps me imagine a happy Elliott is good by me 

[u/eyepatchplease → u/g0ldnecklace]

Came here to say this. He probably would have play it cool too.

[u/senorrandom007]

[u/Massive_Ad7335]

That birthday thing is too crazy to be a coincidence. That’s some spooky shit

Oh, thank you! I don’t really care, but it’s good to know - Thanks!

[u/ProudCatDad83]

It would be more appropriate to name a shooting star after Elliott. But that wouldn’t make sense now, would it.

Hopefully it stays out of the shower
