How cool is this? Pluto's newest moon is named Vulcan

Pluto's newest moon is named Vulcan with just a "bit" of help from Trek fans...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2284638/Plutos-newest-moon-set-named-Vulcan-Star-Trek-fans-win-online-naming-contest-backed-William-Shatner-Leonard-Nimoy.html

***'Thank you to all who voted!' Shatner said in a tweet once the tally was complete.

***Actor Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed Spock, joked: 'If my people were emotional they would say they are pleased.'

And hey, my 2nd choice, Cerberus, won as well.

:-) (And I was surprised to find out that "Romulus" is already a part of our solar system...!)
