(115331) Shrylmiles Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 29 September 2003 by D. Healy at Junk Bond.

Shryl Miles, of Benson, Arizona, has for years devoted herself to keeping the night skies free of light pollution. In 2005 these efforts were rewarded by the unanimous passage of a city-wide light pollution code that will benefit not only Benson, but all residents of and visitors to Cochise County.Naming citation (20060219/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
