Thomas More Observatory Astronomy Public Lecture Series and Night Sky Viewing
From planetary nebulae to spaghettification, astronomers have a long tradition of giving confusing, misleading, or downright silly names to serious physical phenomena. This talk takes a humorous tour through the best and the worst examples of astronomical naming. Along the way, we’ll see how names can clarify ideas, confuse students, and occasionally make astronomers cringe.
