No va. It doesn’t go. :-)

Well this kind of sucks. When you are the first to find something in astronomy, generally it’s named after you. But since “No va” is Latin for “It doesn’t go”, this could be interpreted as the “Nakamura no go”...
Maybe that’s why few Novas are named after their discoverer?
That’s why you always want to discover a comet or a new planet.
“No va” is Spanish for “it doesn’t go,” not Latin. The joke is that GM couldn’t understand why the “Nova” (the “It doesn’t go”) didn’t sell in Latin America.
