2. How to name an asteroid?
The name of an asteroid consists of two parts: the permanent number in front and the name in the back. Each confirmed asteroid will be given a permanent number first, and the discoverer can suggest a name for the asteroid. The name will not be officially adopted until it is approved by the International Astronomical Union.
If the asteroid's orbit can be determined accurately enough, its discovery will be confirmed. Until then, it will have a temporary number, which consists of the year of discovery and two letters, such as 2004 DW.
For example, this Bela star, which was first discovered in 2000, has a temporary number of "2000 YD2 1".
