(34585) Torrano Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 30 September 2000 by LONEOS at Anderson Mesa.
Zachary A. Torrano (b. 1992) is an American scientist who received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University in 2020. His isotopic studies of primitive meteorites and samples from (162173) Ryugu provide key insights into the early history of the solar system and the processes that formed small asteroidal bodies.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #9, 34), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
