It tells something about the nerdiness of scientists, that currently there are areas called Cthulhu and Balrog and Mordor on Charon.

But... Mordor is in New Zealand... :p

EDIT:

Balrog

So wait, redneB resides in Pluto? Wow...

Oh, sorry, I seem to have deleted two words from my post on accident. Balrog and Cthulhu are on Pluto, only Mordor is on Charon.

Are they the official names yet?

Posted: **20 Jul 2015 09:24**

Not yet. I'm guessing they will be changed, since the people coming up with the names are kind of obsessed with obscure deities.

Posted: **20 Jul 2015 09:35**

I didn't found these names in the NASA site yet, so I think not.

I would honestly prefer more serious names, taken from mythology and not so much pop culture.
