<i>Not just any name, one proportional to our luck... </i><br /><br />Um...what about the Rehakles?... <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <br /><br />I agree though, 2004 MN4 is a rather bleak name... From the link: <ul type="square">...The asteroid is about 320 meters wide. "That's big enough to punch through Earth's atmosphere," devastating a region the size of, say, Texas, if it hit land, or causing widespread tsunamis if it hit ocean, says Chodas...<br /><br />...On April 13, 2029, asteroid 2004 MN4 will fly past Earth only 18,600 miles (30,000 km) above the ground. For comparison, geosynchronous satellites orbit at 22,300 miles (36,000 km). "At closest approach, the asteroid will shine like a 3rd magnitude star, visible to the unaided eye from Africa, Europe and Asia--even through city lights," says Jon Giorgini of JPL. This is rare. "Close approaches by objects as large as 2004 MN4 are currently thought to occur at 1000-year intervals, on average."</ul>Well, I can't think of an appropriate name, but if anyone has a suggestion, please go right ahead!
