MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 2 (UPI) -- Two moons of Pluto have new names, but neither will be Vulcan despite votes from thousands of Star Trek fans, astronomers in California say.
Despite a campaign by Star Trek actor William Shatner to have one named after Mr. Spock's home world, the two moons, known up until now as P4 and P5, will stay with Pluto's Greco-Roman mythological theme of the underworld and be dubbed Kerberos, after a three-headed hell hound, and Styx, a river in the underworld, NewScientist.com reported Tuesday.
