=19383 Rolling Stones=

A minor planet number 19383 discovered on January 29, 1998 by the OCA-DLR Asteroid Survey at Caussols, France,

has been named in honor of the eternally Rolling Stones

(citation announcing the naming on Minor Planet Circular 49281 - issued on Aug. 6, 2003):

(19383) Rolling Stones = 1998 BZ32                                              
     Discovered 1998 Jan. 29 by the OCA-DLR Asteroid Survey at Caussols.

The Rolling Stones are the longest lasting rock-and-roll group,

embarking on their fortieth anniversary of great music.

(19383) Rolling Stones (1998 BZ32) is in a 3.51-year elliptical orbit around the sun ranging in distance from 292.5 million km

(at perihelion, closest point to the sun) to 398.3 million km (at aphelion, furthest point from the sun).

The previous perihelion passage occurred on 2010 July 19.9 UT.

There is little information on the physical properties of (19383) Rolling Stones.

Even its diameter is uncertain; a range of,  probably, 3 to 8 km.

You will need a telescope to see this minor planet as its maximum brightness is some 1/7999 of the brightness of the

faintest objects that can be seen with the unaided eye.

Note: The asteroid's name is unusual in that it is expressed as two words, instead of "Rollingstones" which is the format used by most other minor planets named for individuals or groups

(although the asteroid named after Pink Floyd is also expressed as two words)   From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
