Superdupernovas? I hope that is not really their name. Naming objects in physics and astronomy is becoming rather bland. HIC 91262 is Vega. Betelgeuse can, apparently, be any one of the following: Alpha Orionis, HR 2061, BD +7 1055, HD 39801, SAO 113271 or PPM 149643. I really like SAO 113271 - it just rolls off the tongue. Then there are up quarks and down quarks. Not to mention charm, strange, top and bottom quarks. Then again, it would be quite a challenge to some up with billions upon billions upon billions of cool names.
