I've got a great name. I believe it was Piers Anthony that coined it.

How about "The Macroscope"?

Or its nickname, the SDPS. (Super Duper Pooper Scooper)

Sounds good to me. I suppose you have to be dead to qualify.

The name should be "Democritus"!

"... in some worlds there is no Sun and Moon, in others they are larger than in our world, and in others more numerous... in some parts there are more worlds, in others fewer; some are increasing, some at their height, some decreasing... There are some worlds devoid of living creatures or plants or any moisture."
Democritus, c. 400 B.C.

(Thanks for the bump!)
