An asteroid has been renamed after George Takei. The asteroid which was discovered by two japanese astronomers in 1994 and named 1994 GT9. It has now been renamed to 7307 Takei.

"I am now a heavenly body," Takei, 70, said Tuesday, laughing. "I found out about it yesterday. ... I was blown away. It came out of the clear, blue sky — just like an asteroid."

Awe congrats! I loooooooove George almost as much as I love my Oracle. Can't wait to hear him back on Stern.
