It has a catalog number.
It is remote, dead, and colder than a witches tit.
As for naming it, I have (IIRC) a 1/12 interest if it ever came up, and I think it is unlikely in the extreme for it to ever come up.
I'd probably vote for 'Bruce' or something silly.
This iceball is of so little conceivable consequence to anything else its remoteness and coldness pale in comparison.
Still, 12 people spent time hunting it's little frozen corpse down in the impotent hope New Horizons might have been capable of reaching it. And then of course, the 12 co-discoverers would be minor celebrities, harvesting our 15 minutes of fame.
Anyhow, new Horizons has been deflected to another iceball, and to my thinking, a less interesting one since it is smaller.
And that one won't have a crater on it eventually named for my username on an otherwise obscure science message board.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
