There is a vote underway to name two of Pluto's moons, and one of the names on the list is Vulcan. It currently leads the tally by a fair margin, but thought I'd pop the link on here incase any of you guys wanted to vote too

Enjoy!

I'm sorry I can't resist.

I'm gonna have to vote for either Beavis and Butthead or Ren and Stimpy. Or maybe Sherlock and Watson.

Isn't there already an actual planet Vulcan? If there's not I think Vulcan should be reserved for an actual planet.

Unless it's not a moon- it's a space station. Then we have to have a different contest.

Well it was Mr Shattner himself who suggested it, so blame him :p. He also suggested Romulus but that can't be the case and Romulus and Remus are names designated to the moons of asteroid 87 "Silvia". I think it's pretty cool personally .

Mickey and Donald were the working names there for a while.

No. There was a hypothetical planet named Vulcan inside Mercury's orbit responsible for an irregularity in Mercury's orbit, but corrected for general relativity the irregularity didn't actually exist.

It is, however, the name of a specific class of asteroid. There aren't any known vulcanoids in our solar system, but the classification still exists. That might influence the IAE's final decision if Vulcan wins the vote.

I forgot about Mickey. That's a good suggestion.

Save "Vulcan" for an actual planet ... preferable a habitable one orbiting 40 Eridani A.
