BILLBOARD – That black hole everyone’s been looking at will be named for the late Chris Cornell if tens of thousands of fans get their way. 40,000 fans and counting have signed a petition that reads, in part, “‘Black Hole Sun,’ written by Chris Cornell is without a doubt Soundgarden’s most recognizable and most popular song, and one of the biggest anthems of the ’90s. For this reason, and the impact Chris Cornell had in the lives of so many and music itself, I ask NASA, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration and all the astronomers and scientists involved in this discovery, to name this black hole after Chris Cornell.”

Cornell’s widow Vicky shared the petition, saying, “Chris would be honored.” 40,000 fans can’t be wrong, but this is an ambitious ask: not only is the recently-photographed black hole located in the M87 galaxy pretty much the most famous black hole since Dr. Reinhardt went to hell, there actually is no unified naming system for black holes. Before this, who would have wanted to name one?
