Nasa has signaled it is joining the social justice movement by changing the unofficial and potentially contentious names used by the scientific community for distant cosmic objects such as planets, galaxies and nebulae.
arent we going overboard? you have to turn history upside down. science cannot dissocite from world history. Names will have to be changed on a daily basis. NASA has better things to do.
When uranus is trending...
Black Hole now Wizards Sleeve
We have commented, Dear Sirs, on this matter and consulted NASA itself.
Hey nasa can’t wait for replacement names for red dwarfs and white giants and all the galaxies named after astrological stars signs idiots
It's good they are. Most of the comments here are from people who think the Earth is flat, you can tell... 🙄
Daft move! 😤
Never Allow Snowflakes Access 🤓
And that will change the world how Are they running out of things to do 🦇💩
Even NASA is full of assholes
Considering all the issues that are present in the world, I think these really are not that important.
Humans are so unnecessary.

'Cosmic objects, such as Barnard 33, nicknamed “the Horsehead Nebula” would be retain their names.' That's great, except Horsehead is also offensive to my Italian background. Failed again NASA. NASA woke
This could anger a lot of racist aliens
Next step they will rewrite novels, dictionaries, history, science. It's the convergence of systems, now the western world rewrites history like in the URSS, like in Putin's Russia, like in China.
What a load of codswallop.
Lets be honest - Nasa is nothing more than a glorified combination of Russell Grant & Mystic Meg
Siamese Twins Galaxy and Eskimo Nebula is really what you guys are reaching with?
I don't care about space. I'll never be an astronaut in space. I'll never time travel or meet an alien.. So I couldn't care less what the planets are called. And if names of some planets offend some people - I care even less about that
My. You can't even call a black hole what it is these days.
2+2=5
this news? ffs
1960 NASA: We’re going to put a man on the moon. 2020 NASA: Black holes are racist.
This is stupid like how are you gonna pc police space? Humans are ridiculous at this point.
This is beyond ridiculous. NASA is setting itself up as a woke joke. What next? Will they rename the sun because it's offensive to daughters?
Just wait til they change all the names from Arabic and Greek origins because both cultures perpetuated slavery....
This is fucking stupid.
Woke revolution in the heavens..
The past is history we should not change that that happened in the past. Who for god sake thinks of these things get a life. leave history alone.
So what will change after that nothing?
Just Name Them After The Tory Cabinet World Beaters.
What about peoples surnames who have black in should the be changed.. they can stick their planets up the Uranus.
Half the PHDs on the planet and they turn out to be in grievance studies!
MarioOjedaRevah 🤦🏻♀️
...and Constellations ...and Asterisms...and Dark matter ...and when it comes to Rockets can we drop 'Thrust' and use fewer phallusisms ...maybe we could say 'conscious uncoupling' ... 🙄
I guess black holes will become holes of colour.
Great. My HEQ5 Pro Telescope Mount which includes a handset with hundreds of preloaded space objects including the Eskimo Nebula. So that it can automatically point at said objects. Isn't just a cool bit of kit. It's actually a racist.
This is opening a pandora's box unnecessarily. We are becoming an oversensitive society. What about those other hundreds of moons, planets, stars etc named after Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods and goddess? What if other religious groups said those names are also discriminatory?
You can stick that up Uranus.
The age of silliness.
Don’t change Mars to a sissy name for goodness sake.

Sombrero galaxy: No Mexicans allowed!
absurd
Fucking hell so many arseholes out in force today
Fine. I don’t fully understand it, but who am I to judge. However, seems like there are a whole bunch of race- and gender-based inequities in government agencies that could be addressed and publicized. Are those changes happening too and we just aren’t hearing about them?
Going to be a lot of book burning and reprinting then is there ! Black hole offensive to blm, singularity offensive to single people, Uranus pretty much offensive for a number of very funny reasons — that’s going to crash a few comedians shows I think.. 🤔🤔😂😂
What about Black Holes?
THIS COMPLETELY MISSES THE POINT!! The idea that NASA, a predominantly straight white male organisation can 'name' the universe displays typical racist sexist arrogance that BIPOC people have to put up with day to day. It's time to decolonise the galaxy.
When is this PC stupidity going to stop
I had no idea some planets were being discriminated against.
So, Ur-anus and Tit-ania are not offensive?
Fuck me this is absolutely pathetic.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And now Astronomy is racist. 🤡
NASA to nay say?
Good. I've never been too impressed with Uranus.
Black hole sounds racist.
