The International Astronomical Union has officially christened Pluto's two newest satellites Nix and Hydra.
...
In Greek mythology, Nyx was the goddess of the night and the mother of Charon, the boatsman who ferried souls across the River Styx into the underworld ruled by Pluto. The IAU changed the spelling to "Nix" because the name "Nyx" had already been given to an asteroid.
Hydra is named after the nine-headed serpent that guarded the underworld.

Yay! I get to leave work 15 minutes early!
'Cept I'm gonna go meet this guy I'm doing some consulting for....
I've told you over and over and over again, my friend: I don't believe you lost the seeds of destruction.
Hmph. I have to stick around longer because I have to pick up the cat.
Burrell, that whole trip provided many truly odd meal experiences. I think it must have been symptomatic of the death throes of the USSR.
