Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Malala Yousafzai gets her own asteroid
Now she is awarded an asteroid, but not the
object but the naming.
Malala Yousafzai was shot by Taliban
soldiers ruthlessly in Pakistan in 2012. She was treated in the hospital in
England. She was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Stockholm in 2014. She is known
to many in the planet. But now, her reputation goes into space. A small
asteroid is officially named after her in 2015. The Malala asteroid is among the
main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and orbits the sun every
five-and-a-half years. Although the asteroid is too small and dark to be seen
by human eyes, her name is seen in space map.
Enjoy reading and thinking what it’s like
to see your name in space.
