Asteroid Naming Contest: Contest Gives You the Chance to Give an Asteroid Your Name

What do Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, and John Lennon have in common? They all have asteroids named after them. Now First Light Magazine, in association with Zooniverse, offers you a chance to share the same privilege. You can win the opportunity to name an asteroid located in the main belt, between Mars and Jupiter.

Go to https://www.firstlight-magazine.com/give-your-name-to-an-asteroid-2 for more information.

The name of the winner, designated by a random drawing, will be announced at the Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF), the largest astronomy expo worldwide, according to a press release.
