What Are Some Space Things That Have Straight-Forward Names?
One thing I love in astronomy is how some things' names are so on-the-nose.
​
You have a large group of quasars? That's a Large Quasar Group (LQG)
That LQG is particularly big? We call that the Huge Large Quasar Group.
We're making a really big telescope? Let's name it the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT)
Star made of neutrons? Neutron Star!
Star that pulses? Pulsar!
Really really massive black hole? Supermassive Black Hole!
​
I'm struggling to find adequate wording for Google, so I'm asking here. What are some other things in space that are simply just named what they are?
