Line 113:
** The asteroid named after [[Hideaki Anno]]
** There's even one named after the {{spoiler|fictitious}} Czech genius [[wikipedia:7796 Jaracimrman|Jára Cimrman]]. Let's just say that the name of every other asteroid is a reference to something-or-other (since it's the discoverer who proposes the name, and there are few restrictions on the name choice.)
** White dwarf BPM 37093 in the sky with a crystallized carbon core (read: diamond). Informally named: [[The Beatles (band)|Lucy]].
** The dwarf planet now known as "Eris" was nicknamed "[[Xena]]" for 2 years while a final name and designation were decided. Its moon was officially named "Dysnomia" (Lawlessness) as a shoutout to actress Lucy Lawless.
** [[Christopher Hitchens]] has an asteroid, [[wikipedia:57901 Hitchens|57091 Hitchens]], named after him.
