Your Help Wanted to Name Two of Pluto's Moons

Astronomers are asking for help (they should after the mess of Pluto they made) in naming two newly discovered moons of Pluto, which currently go by the uninspired monikers P4 and P5. The tiny satellites were spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Pluto's three other known moons — Charon, Nix and Hydra — are named for Greek mythological characters associated with the underworld. The short list of names that interested members of the public can vote on for the new moons follow that same pattern, researchers said.

You can vote to name the moons on plutorocks.com until noon EST (1700 GMT) on Feb. 25. Write-in ballots are also encouraged.

The list

Acheron

Alecto

Cerberus

Erebus

Eurydice

Hercules

Hypnos

Lethe

Obol

Orpheus

Persephone

Styx

If you haven't heard,

William Shatner may have scored a "Colbert"

by pushing a vote for an unnamed moon to be identified as

"Vulcan"

I liked Persephone and Cerberus to keep it pure.
