May be that the scientists' kids are asked for input, from time to time...

Pretty sure that “Piccard Mons” refers to one or more members of the Piccard family, who were early balloonists and scientists, rather than Picard the Star Trek character (who was however intended to be related to the real-life Piccards).

'Balrog Macula'

I'll bet you that within a year, some Swedish death metal band will be using this name. Book it.
