# Talk:Asteroids in fiction

I would like to point out the presence of 7794 Sanvito in the novel and film 2001: A Space Odyssey. --Alessandro Crisafulli (talk) 12:00, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

An asteroid discovered in 1996 was "present" in a movie made in 1968?  Tell me more. —Tamfang (talk) 04:22, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
Yes: 7794_Sanvito#In_fiction --Alessandro Crisafulli (talk) 06:55, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
Better to say its number (then unassigned) was used. —Tamfang (talk) 03:27, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Does When Worlds Collide (book 1933, film 1951) fit here, as an early example of impact calamity fiction?  Of course the Bronson Bodies are not asteroids, strictly speaking. —Tamfang (talk) 03:26, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

No, but it does fit at the impact events in fiction article, which I'm currently working on expanding. I have added a mention of it there. TompaDompa (talk) 21:20, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
