Wow!
I just discovered there's an asteroid named after Prof. Philip John Stooke! How cool is that? I wonder if asteroid Oner is next. . . |

Asteroids? Isn't that a painful swelling that astronauts get from sitting while driving for prolonged periods of time.

I think it's safe to say that we're all pretty Stooked about this...
Seriously, Phil, WAY cool, much deserved, and congratulations!!!

You have to be dead to get a crater on the Moon except under special circumstances like having been there. It's tempting, but I'll hold off for now.
