        Subject: Re: Name of the sun
 
        It is appropriate to name our galaxy after Giordano Bruno and our sun
        after Copernicus, especially since Bruno was burned at the stake for
        holding these views while Copernicus just barely escaped this fate by
        dying before his book was published.
 
  Who shall we name the local cluster after?  Or the local
supercluster?
  I wonder who will finally work out the all-over structure of the
universe as a whole and hence will have the whole universe named after
him (her?).
