26858 Misterrogers (play /ˌmɪstər ˈrɒərz/) is a main-belt asteroid named after children's television host Fred Rogers. Rogers, who had a lifelong fascination with the sky and astronomy —he obtained a pilot's license while still in high school— also produced a planetarium show called The Sky above Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which is still shown at many planetariums across the United States.
