Although I'm not quite sure why.......Star Trek actor George Takei has been chosen as the namesake of the asteroid formerly known as 1994 GT9.
This asteroid is located between Mars and Jupiter. It has been renamed 7307 Takei in honour of the actor.
Takei, who is now 70, commented, "I am a heavenly body," he jokes, "I was blown away. It came out of the clear, blue sky - just like an asteriod."
Pretty sweet deal, right?
