Asteroid spotted two years ago named after Yushan
NCU vice president Liu Gin-rong told a press conference that the IAU had passed the proposal to name the asteroid "Yushan."
The asteroid is the first to be named after a Taiwanese mountain, in addition to its permanent serial number, No. 185546, given by the IAU's Committee for Small Body Nomenclature.
