Did Target pay to have the comet named after it?

What's next? Rosetta's Hooters' Comet? Rosetta's Sam's Club Comet? Rosetta's GEICO Comet?

Or maybe "20th Century Motors" Comet.

Who do you like to pay for your science?

They call it that because it’s easier than spell-checking or pronouncing “Churyumov-Gerasimenko.”
