I was very pleased to learn that the late great Iain Banks has had an asteroid named after him.
Asteroid Iainbanks resides in the Main Asteroid Belt of the Sol system; with a size of 6.1 km (3.8 miles), it takes 3.94 years to complete a revolution around the Sun. It is most likely of a stony composition.
I wonder if it would be possible to get another asteroid named IainMBanks?
