Asteroid

[Olivier]

>>I think it was in the middle of the 80'es that an astronomist who read
>>Barks, had an astroid (? I'm not sure of the spelling) named after Barks.

I remember know reading about it in "Picsou Magazine" special 20th Anniversary
issue (#240, Jan '92)
Here its is (p 95):

"1981
 An astronomer discovered a little asteroid some 350 million kilometers from
 the sun...  [...] it was called Barks as a tribute to the famous creator of  Uncle Scrooge!"
