All ok, & ready to go, except that I think "discovery of an asteroid from Ireland" needs clarifying; it's alarming to think of pieces of the auld sod in the asteroid belt. There are various options like "new a. discovered by observation from I". Johnbod (talk) 18:43, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

In this edit have revised the wording to "the only asteroid ever discovered by observation from Ireland". Does that solve the problem? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
