Radiolab and the International Astronomical Union announced a contest to name the asteroid ( 164207) 2004 GU9.

A panel of experts, including TV "Science Guy" Bill Nye , has picked seven finalists from a pool of nearly 3,000 monikers.

IAU conventions require that the names of cosmic objects be connected to one of the many mythologies developed by people around the globe.

The seven finalists, and their cultural origins, are: - Bakunawa ( Filipino ) - Cardea (Roman) - Ehaema ( Estonian ), - Enkidu (Sumerian) - Ótr (Norse) - Tarriaksuk (.
