Michael Jackson, famously known as the ‘Moonwalker´ for his legendary dance moves, now has a crater of the moon named after himself.
In an out-of-the-world tribute to the ‘King of Pop´ the Lunar Republic Society named the moon crater after Jackson’s name, Contactmusic reported.
The crater, previously named Posidonius J, is located in the Moon’s Lake of Dreams and is close to a 1,200-acre parcel, which was purchased by the pop star.
Jackson, died last month at the age of 50 after a suspected cardiac arrest.
His fans and family members bid their final farewell to the pop legend in a star-studded public memorial on Tuesday.

The crater, previously named Posidonius JIt's still named Posidonius J. These clowns don't have any authority to re-name a crater on the Moon.

Agree, but if they can rename it, why can’t we?

Maybe your swift number isn’t working. Would it help if I sent mine? Of course, I want a cut of the reward being offered! I’m going to use the money to buy more stars!

Who in the hell is the Lunar Republic Society and what right do they have to name or sell any part of the moon?
I announce that the entire moon is mine and going forward should be called the Owl_Eagle Death Star, except for one small crater that will be called Lunar Republic Society Sucks Stink Pit.

...the Lunar Republic Society named the moon crater after Jackson’s name... That should be The Lunatic Republic Society.
They have no more standing to name astronomical bodies and their features than I do.
Oh yeah. I had already named that crater "Heil Barraq Hussein..."
