The Large Magellanic Cloud (center) and Small Magellanic Cloud (right) can be seen with the naked eye in the Southern Hemisphere, as shown in this photo from Paranal Observatory in Chile.

You'd think scientists wouldn't be this silly - but that's forgetting that scientists are just human beings, prone to stupidity like everyone else.

[[But Magellan’s name is not fitting, astronomer Mia de los Reyes and colleagues argue.]]
Wow are they lame!

Another tiny prick still hung up on the slavery BS. He needs to pay “reparations” to some black guy instead of accepting a paycheck for himself.

OK Mia. Let’s call it the Fidel Castro cloud, shall we?

Get them the hell out of our science system. Tell them that the world is flat and that they should shut up.

Hmmm could there be an Obama constellation on the horizon?

And Pluto isn’t a planet.
What about “man” and “woman” ?
And what about “up” and “down” ?
“Day” and “night” ?
Aren’t all those words traceable in their origins to some sort of slave trading or other oppressive behavior?

A friggin’ crybaby Filipino. What the hell is he doing in 72% white America? The boy needs to go the hell home and whine to the Filipinos about slavery. Americans are getting tired of hearing it. None of us had any part in that bullsh*t. If you read any of the new “history” books slavery is a myth anyway. There is no way they could have been building America, inventing everything, putting man on the moon and working in the U.S. Congress if they were picking cotton.

The main problem, of course, is he was a white European. The Mongol Horde or the Mughal armies murdering, raping, and enslaving millions across the Steppes and Infia respectively? No problem. White sailors shipwrecked and roasted in a Long Pig feast? Meh. But lead and die during the first expedition to circumnavigate the planet? Heinous.
It is long past time to tell these self hating bastards to go and **** themselves.

I like DeSoto. He discovered the Mississippi and started a car company.
