46610 Bésixdouze (1993 TQ1) is an asteroid belonging to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
It was formally pinpointed by Kin Endate and Kazuro Watanabe on October 15, 1993.[1]
The name was suggested by F. Hemery and Jiří Grygar as a reference to the French novella The Little Prince. The title character lived on an asteroid named B612, which is the number 46610 written in hexadecimal notation. Bésixdouze is one way to pronounce B612 in French (lit. 'B six twelve').
