One of the newest asteroids in the galaxy, 31910 Moustafa, is named not after a famed space explorer, but a bright-eyed teen from the El Maadi STEM School for girls south of Cairo, Egypt. Seventeen-year-old Yasmine Yehia Moustafa earned the honor from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) after taking first place in the earth and environmental sciences category at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for discovering a way to turn rice into biodiesel fuel to purify water and produce electricity.
