Added 4 new A* pages:Random space factoid I came across today, which everyone else who would care probably already knows: each of the former Beatles got an asteroid named after them in the mid-80's. There's 4147 Lennon, 4148 McCartney, 4149 Harrison, and 4150 Starr. Harrison's is the "farthest out"--from the Sun. Hah. Whereas the Rolling Stones all have to share a single asteroid, 19383 Rolling Stones. And there are other rockers with asteroids named after them, too. And, for that matter, there are loads and loads of asteroids named after people; I wonder what Freud would make of 4342 Freud, for instance.
