XR190

A trans-Neptunian object was named after Buffy? From Wikipedia:

2004 XR190 (also written 2004 XR190) is a newly discovered trans-Neptunian object located in the scattered disc. Astronomers led by Lynne Allen of the University of British Columbia made the discovery as part of the Legacy Survey using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The discovery team has temporarily nicknamed the object “Buffy”, after the fictional vampire slayer, and proposed a different official name to the IAU.

    I know someone posted this before, but can’t find who, as it seems to have been lost from the database. Apologies to the original poster!
