Asteroid (46925) 1998 SS27 has just been named after @BradyHaran, the host of YouTube channels like "Numberphile", "Periodic Videos", and "Objectivity".
Naming it was my idea, and I am very grateful to David Rankin at the Catalina Sky Survey for helping me with it!

1. It is one of the largest unnamed main-belt asteroids, at 13 km in diameter, and one of the brightest, reaching 16 mag at a good opposition. I want his fans to have the opportunity to capture images of it. 2/7
