This musician and composer just got an asteroid named after him
(CNN)Musician, composer and record producer Brian Eno has a new namesake in a space rock. In a tribute to the man whose name has become synonymous with ambient music, astronomers renamed the asteroid formerly known as 81948 (2000 OM69) to Eno. Just Eno -- short for Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno. Marc Buie, a Southwest Research Institute astronomer who named the asteroid Tuesday, described the musician as "an experimental sculptor of sound."
