The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has officially named Asteroid 149831 “Okeke” in tribute to the incredible Professor Francisca N. Okeke – a distinguished Physicist from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.

Professor Okeke’s groundbreaking research on the Ionosphere and its impact on climate and weather has reshaped the understanding of atmospheric physics on a global scale.

This stellar recognition came thanks to the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, USA, where asteroid Okeke was first spotted, as shared by Daniel Bamberger of Northolt Branch observatories.

From Earth to the Stars, her legacy now shines bright in the Cosmos!!!
