A vast crater on Pluto has been named after the 11-year-old English girl who suggested the Roman God when the planet was first discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930.

Nice. Shame the report was marred by them getting her name wrong at the start of the report, then correct at the end.

It is interesting how many people think Pluto was named after Mickey Mouse's pet dog.
