Still waiting for the Bridge
While waiting for one of Pittsburgh’s numerous bridges to be named after Myron Cope, he now has his own Asteroid.
An asteroid that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter officially has been named 7835 Myroncope in honor of legendary Steelers broadcaster Myron Cope, who died Feb. 27.
The name, proposed in March by Dr. Eric Mamajek of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., became official late last month after approval by the International Astronomical Union.
