Wikipedia:

3834 Zappafrank is a main belt asteroid that was discovered by Ladislav Brožek in 1980 at Kleť Observatory. It was named after the late American composer Frank Zappa on July 22, 1994.

John V. Scialli, M.D., a forensic psychiatrist in Phoenix, Arizona, USA headed the successful Internet campaign to name the asteroid, which apparently was the first worldwide on-line petition. It involved Zappa fans in 22 countries and produced the most people supporting an asteroid’s name, according to theInternational Astronomical Union (IAU).
