The naming conventions of minor planets or #asteroids are interesting, altho forming a belt of underworld gods with the names of Plutino TNOs/Trans-Neptunian Objects may not necessarily seem the wisest pick from humans wanting 2 get out there some day. YMMV.
The exceptions to the conventions then become maybe more interesting still, if talking astrological perspectives on top. YMMV there as well. Too few non-Europeans tho.

People have been hacking in very large scores to #Asteroids :-) No blame, I'd do it to. I just didn't want to worry about authentication when I had so much other stuff to worry about.

Thousands of asteroids orbit our solar system, and our planet continues to have frequent but low-impact collisions with small asteroids, and rare but high-impact collisions with larger ones. #asteroids

Adventures in Bad Game Development
I've never been able to make a good game, but I think I could make some bad ones if I just put a little effort into them.

#Gamification im Haushalt:
Wenn ich die harten Brocken des Anti-Kalk-Pulvers mit dem Schraubenzieher zerkleinere, zerfallen diese genauso wie in #Asteroids.
Wie viele Punkte habe ich schon? Und wann kommt das Ufo?

Oooops!
A skyscraper-size asteroid flew closer to Earth than the moon — and scientists didn't notice until 2 days later
By Brandon Specktor, July 19, 2023
"A stealthy asteroid the size of a 20-story building hid in the sun's glare before zooming uncomfortably close to Earth on July 13. Scientists didn't notice until July 15.
"The sun remains a well-known blind spot in the search for near-Earth asteroids — and 2023 NT1 is hardly the first stealthy space rock to slip past our detection. In 2013, a roughly 59-foot-long (18 m) asteroid followed a similar path through the sun's glare and went undetected before exploding in the sky over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The explosion released a shock wave that damaged buildings and shattered glass for miles around, ultimately injuring nearly 1,500 people (but killing none).
"While scientists closely monitor more than 31,000 known near-Earth asteroids, they are well aware of the dangers posed by the solar blind spot. To address this threat, the European Space Agency is hard at work on the NEOMIR mission. The satellite, scheduled to launch around 2030, will orbit between Earth and the sun in an effort to detect large asteroids hidden in our star's shine."
