They haven't named this asteroid yet. I'm interested in it because look how much further it orbits out relative to Neptune.

What would you name it?

It's conjunct my Moon in Pisces. I might be interested in this one because Urania is conjunct my Sun in Leo.


(523794) 2015 RR245, provisional designation 2015 RR245, is a trans-Neptunian object and possible dwarf planet from the Kuiper belt in the outermost regions of the Solar System. It was officially discovered on 9 September 2015, by the Outer Solar System Origins Survey at Mauna Kea Observatories on the Big island of Hawaii, in the United States.[3] The object stays in a rare 2:9 resonance with Neptune and measures approximately 700 kilometers in diameter, which likely makes it large enough to be round. 2015 RR245 may have a satellite according to a study announced by Noyelles et al. in a European Planetary Science Congress meeting in 2019.[7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /(523794)_2015_RR245

Here is the article about a 9 year old winning the contest to name Bennu:

Michael Puzio, age 9
North Carolina, United States
Proposed name: Bennu http://www.planetary.org/get-involved/contests/osirisrex/finalists/michael-puzio.html

Here were the finalists for Bennu asteroid. Each had reasoning why they chose the name:

Out of a total of more than 8000 entries, the judging panel selected 39 semifinalists, then winnowed that group down to 6 finalists. They ranged in age from 5 to 17 (some of them are now 18) and represent 7 countries: USA, Brazil, France, India, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey. We asked each of them what they would like to see next in space exploration. http://www.planetary.org/get-involved/contests/osirisrex/finalists.html

Thank-you Moon Mystic. Happy New Year Moon Mystic.

I don't do too many transits. Transit influences seem too subtle for me to sense. But this one is close to my Eris.

The rare 2:9 resonance with Neptune is pretty neat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_trans-Neptunian_object

Thank for the other info. I'll study it.
