In honor of the leading singer of Queen Freddie Mercury the scientists called asteroid 17473 which had been found in the year of musician’s death.

As the edition The Telegraph reports with the reference to the guitarist from Queen Brian May, the party in commemoration of Mercury is about to happen in Switzerland.

This year Mercury would celebrate his 70-s anniversary of birth.

In 2002, the musician took the 58-th place in the survey of 100 greatest Britons, according to the version of BBC. In 2008, Mercury obtained the 18-th position in the list of 100 most prominent singers of all the times, according to the version of the edition Rolling Stone. All Music described him as one of the most significant rock-singer who acquired one of the best voices in all the history of music.
