Freddie Mercury honored with asteroid on birthday


His last name is also a planet, now Queen's late lead vocalist has an asteroid named in his honor.  Guitarist Brian May, who is also a highly regarded astro-scientist, announced on Mercury's birthday (9/5) that his former band mate had been given the honor by the International Astonomical Union's Minor Planet Centre.  Freddie's asteroid is closest to Jupiter and measures about 2 miles across.
