Astrid Eeuwes Gets Asteroid Named After Her

A Dutch amateur scientist, Astrid Eeuwes, has officially become part of the cosmos—her name now adorns an asteroid once called 2018 BS7, officially approved by the International Astronomical Union. Known for her passion in hunting micrometeorites and sharing her discoveries with the public, her recognition joins an elite group of names honored in space, from Van Gogh to Johan Cruijff. The naming also celebrates human stories, like the asteroid Tijn, named after a boy who inspired a charity, and even includes pop culture icons like Charles Addams and the Addams Family actresses—proving that space isn’t just for scientists, but for everyone who’s made an impact.
