Default Pluto features given first official names

Pluto features given first official names


The Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union has officially approved the naming of 14 features on the surface of Pluto. These are the first geological features on the planet to be named following the close flyby by the New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015.

The IAU has assigned names to fourteen geological features on the surface of Pluto. The names pay homage to the underworld mythology, pioneering space missions, historic pioneers who crossed new horizons in exploration, and scientists and engineers associated with Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.

If all our tax money since the 1960s hadn't gone to subsidizing unchecked importation and breeding of niggers and other mud races and fighting endless wars for the jews, we would probably have a remote Antarctica-like outpost on Pluto, in the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn by now, along with regular cities on the Moon and Mars, L-5 space colonies and everything. But no, we're still stuck on the third rock from the Sun being overwhelmed by ever-increasing mud-flow.
