Wheaton acknowledged the honor on his blog on Wednesday, writing, "As soon as it gets dark here, I'm going to walk out into my backyard, look up into the sky, just a little above Sirius, and know that, even though I can't see it with my naked eye, it's out there, and it's named after me."

If you go by the character he played in the series, it must be a rather annyoing asteroid.
