With all the downer news, here is something to make you smile:

Charon likely to get geographic names from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, LOTR, Lovecraft, etc

Nerdiest.Worlds. Ever.

This month's New Horizons flyby of dwarf planet Pluto and its biggest moon Charon left a wealth of incredible data in its wake, with unforgettable pictures of geographic features such as the now famous giant "heart" on Pluto.

But the highly detailed pictures gave the New Horizons team a welcome problem: What do they call all those craters, plains and mountain ranges?

Now, thanks to maps the New Horizons team plans to submit to the International Astronomical Union (the official governing body for names of celestial objects), we know the answer.

Their names are drawn from movies, TV shows and books sure to gladden every geek's heart — including Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Firefly, Alien, Lord of the Rings and the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

The New Horizons team actually asked for submissions from the public, and they were happy to oblige.

Pluto, according to IAU rules, must have its fictional names drawn from underworld mythology — so the NASA team offered the Cthulu regio (regio being a large area differentiated by its color) and the Balrog macula (dark spot), honoring Lovecraft's dark god and J.R.R. Tolkein's underground demons, respectively.

Cthulu region!

Here is the info on the man who killed Cecil, the lion in Kenya.

"Walter Palmer, a dentist from Minnesota, is believed to have paid £35,000 to shoot and kill the much-loved lion with a bow and arrow. The animal was shot on July 1 in Hwange National Park. Two independent sources have confirmed the hunter's identity to the paper, which has also seen a copy of the relevant hunting permit."

I hope his life is hell!!!

Just saw Donald Trump out campaigning:

Oh those kids! Graham called Trump a jackass.

So Trump gave out his cell phone number.
This is worse than junior high.

Who wore it better? Trump or....

That sound you heard may have been Trump's campaign exploding.

@karentravers:
Trump just now on John McCain: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

Boom goes the dynamite.
Don't like McCain but he was badly hurt and tortured.

#Trump My Cat is now a meme on Twitter.

People send in pics of their cats looking like a pissed Tramp. Silly but funny.
