Pluto Is getting some names from Tolkien

With the recent flyby NASA is very excited about the close up look of Pluto, and they are borrowing names straight from Lord of the Rings. 

It has been neat to see the new pictures of Pluto, I remember when it was still a planet! I think it is funny that scientists have reverted to fantasy books for the naming of the features on the planet. 

Here is the recent article and pictures.
