As minor planet discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by the IAU's Minor Planet Center (MPC), and the discoverers can then submit names for them, following the IAU's naming conventions. The list below concerns those minor planets in the specified number-range that have received names, and explains the meanings of those names. Official naming citations of newly named small Solar System bodies are approved and published in a bulletin by IAU's Working Group Small Body Nomenclature (WGSBN). Before May 2021, citations were published in MPC's Minor Planet Circulars for many decades. Recent citations can also be found on the JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB). Until his death in 2016, German astronomer Lutz D. Schmadel compiled these citations int… more »

The preamble, rumbling thunder from a wealthy mob of men
Who did declare they had enough, a bluffing king commanding them
He would prey on their pay 'til the day they said nay
Go to war, blood would pour, break away, what a day
When they won, but no fun, the battle just begun
We're still fighting the fascists for freedom

A hundred years later, an amendment set free
Those whose souls were sold to hypocrites who claimed supremacy
Another battle would rattle the heart of the nation
Two centuries later, still a raging conflagration
Separation, segregation, not a drop of reparation
And they freak if you speak, disagree, take a knee

Yeah, everybody freeze for the National Anthem
Get down on your knees for the National Anthem
It's a disease, a catastrophe
Our allegiance under God over Democracy

I still believe we'll free the dream of the old red, white, and blue
But I guess nothing works the way it's supposed to

Your mother and your daughter and your sister and your auntie
See the shards of the glass ceilings they keep shattering supplanted
Every time by the crime of their personal choices
Shut up white man, let them raise their voices
Get out of their way man, more than equally pay them
They work circles 'round you, lazy, every day, every way, man

And why do you believe a TV shouting out a view?
Why do you always need a daddy man to tell you what to do?
All this cognitive dissonance, there's no critical thinking
The school, the church, the media, what started your brain shrinking?
How I wish I could shake you awake from your sleep
Another sheep on the heap, waging rage, what a creep

Yeah, you can't spell patriot without the riot
Can't sell nationalism, boy, unless you'll buy it
It's a damn shame and the ones to blame
Are playing chess, the U.S. just one piece of the game

I still believe we'll flip the board although I'm sure they'll sue
But I guess nothing works the way it's supposed to

I'm going down to Washington, I'm running for the seat
Yeah, I had enough of nothing more than nothing on repeat
Yeah, I'm bringing all my savvy and my introspective view
And they'll shoot me on the mall before somebody can yell Jew
And I'll laugh as I fall and accept my bloody christening
You get freedom of speech as long as nobody is listening

Yeah, you can't have a great experiment without some failure
But question the wrong faction and their bound to jail ya
Toss you off a roof and make it look like you goofed
Why's the truth so aloof, slow to show us the proof?

And by the time it shines through
Your ADD's got you
It's you, it's you, it's you

That doesn't work the way it's supposed to
