(73342) Guyunusa Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 4 May 2002 by Los Molinos at Los Molinos.
Guyunusa was a native Indian sold by Uruguay for exhibition in France. She was 27 years old when she died in Lyons only a year after her arrival. She and fellow captive Vaimaca had a daughter, born in France. Another of the “last charrás”, Tacuabé, took care of the baby and escaped with her to an unknown place.Naming citation (20060413/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
