Okay, so that earlier entry this morning? Dumb idea? Yeah.

I needed to actually read that research paper that Will Baird was talking about earlier. The authors of the research paper in question were going back to Greco-Roman mythology, not Star Trek for their star name choices. I still say Trek's poisoned the well as far as real astronomers using either of those two names from now on, though.

Oh, they may say they were going back to mythology, but you know they weren't.

I was tempted to amend the previous version of this entry with a variant on that joke.

Oh well...
