Malala Yousafzai, mshindi wa Nobel Peace Prize, ameweka jina lake kwenye sayari ya asteroid Asteroid 316201 ilipewa jina Malala na Amy Meynser, mtaalamu wa nyota wa Maabara ya Jet Propulsion ya NASA. Alipata umaarufu mkubwa wakati Taliban walipojaribu kumuua, kwani alipata utambuzi kwa juhudi zake za elimu kwa wote ambao walikuwa dhidi ya Taliban. Asteroid hiyo iligunduliwa katika ukanda mkuu kati ya Mars na Jupita na Amy Mainzer. Kwa hiyo Amy alikuwa na haki ya kumpa jina, kwa kuwa ni sayari chache tu zilizokuwa na majina ya wanawake. Mwaka 2014 alishinda tuzo ya amani ya Nobel pamoja na Kailash Satyarthi, mwanaharakati wa haki za watoto nchini India. Amepewa tuzo nyingi duniani kote, na baadhi yao zimeorodheshwa hapa chini.
