8-yr-old said to be 'world's youngest astronomer' claims to find 18 asteroids

Eight-year-old Nicole Oliveira from Brazil who joined a NASA-affiliated programme has said she has found 18 asteroids. If her findings are certified, Oliveira will become the youngest person in the world to officially discover an asteroid, breaking the record of 18-year-old Italian Luigi Sannino. She said she'll name the asteroids after Brazilian scientists or members of her family.
