      Would just like to mention the unlikely occurence of an satelitte named after Asar, going after a Space Rock named after Bennu (primordial Phoenix) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennu
      According to Egyptian mythology, the Bennu was a self-created being said to have played a role in the creation of the world. It was said to be the ba of Ra and enabled the creative actions of Atum

        The self-created Atum begat the twins Shu and Tef-nut, who in turn gave birth to Nut (the sky/spirit) and Geb (the earth/matter)
        The union of Nut (spirit) and Geb (matter) produced four offspring: Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nepthys.
