A Star Trek asteroid
George Takei, the actor who played Sulu in the original Star Trek series, now has an asteroid named after him: 7307 Takei. Seems fitting, really, that a Star Trek character has his name applied to a celestial body—though apparently a couple other cast members beat him to it, as there are asteroids named after Gene Roddenberry and Nichelle Nichols as well.
Though it kinda surprises me that there isn't a celestial body named after Spock, Kirk, or Picard. Maybe those names will be reserved for newly-discovered galaxies?

Shatner won't be satisfied by a mere astroid -- he wants a whole planet named after him. Maybe a system or galaxy. Actually, his ego probably won't settle for less than the Shatnerverse.
