Broughton at Reedy Creek Observatory. U.K.-born recording artists Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, of BeeGees fame, and soloist brother Andy (1958-1988) were raised in Australia only 100 km from the discovery site of this minor planet. The phenomenal success of the BeeGees can be attributed to their renowned harmonies and songwriting ability.
