NASA Tweets Aretha Tribute
(Washington, DC) — NASA is paying tribute to Aretha Franklin by saying the Queen of Soul will live on in space. The space agency tweeted their respects to Franklin after her passing Thursday, and pointed out that there’s an asteroid in the solar system named after her. NASA tweeted, “We’re saddened by the loss of Aretha Franklin,” but added, “Asteroid 249516 Aretha…will keep orbiting beyond Mars.” The asteroid was named after Franklin when it was discovered during an asteroid-hunting mission in 2010.
