Recently discovered Asteroid
70850 Schur (1999 VU113)

Deepest thanks to Rik Hill for pushing this forward, we are pleased to announce the official designation of an asteroid, currently 18th magnitude in Virgo which honors both of us. This is an official international designation, and is accepted in all IAU member nations in the world - not like the "name a star" scam that is only out to take your money. As soon as possible, we will be imaging this object, probably next spring when it appears in the evening sky.
