Can I name the galaxies?

Having failed in my bid to get Sol’s newest hard-to-classify planet named “Procrustes”, I’m going to aim BIGGER! I think these Antennae Galaxies should be called “Cheng” and “Eng”.

Come on. Who doesn’t love that?

By the way, I love these Hubble shots. Remember when “the Hubble Telescope” was first launched and its pictures were so blurry that it became synonymous with “colossal expensive failure”? For, like, a solid year, Johnny Carson and David Letterman had a guaranteed laugh just by referencing it somehow, because everyone agreed it was a big joke. Then the shuttle went up, fixed it, and it’s become the saving grace of the space program.
