"Astronomer Mia de los Reyes of Amherst College in Massachusetts expressed this viewpoint in the journal APS Physics, noting Magellan’s acts allegedly committed on 'indigenous populations' during his 1519 voyage.

The latest move is said to have been inspired significantly by the Marxist Black Lives Matter protests."

Why not name them the Large and Small George Floyd Clouds and be done with it.

How about we call them Spearchucker and Wetback?

[Overtaxed]

Academic institutions should be renamed as mental institutions.

[Political Junkie Too]

Why don't we rename Virginia, West Virginia, and New York while we're at it.

Heck, why stop there? Let's rename America, too!

But the relatively small galaxies are under the gravitational influence of our much larger Milky Way therefore are in a way colonies of. Therefore Magellanic is entirely apt if one goes by this woke line of thinking.

First they will erase Europeans from history and then, left unchecked, they will start a campaign of genocide against Europeans.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I am sure the left thinks we should rename them for someone peaceful like Stalin, Muhammad, or che guevara!

From physics.aps.org/: Mia de los Reyes

Mia de los Reyes is an assistant professor of astronomy at Amherst College, Massachusetts. As an observational astronomer, de los Reyes studies low-mass galaxies in the nearby Universe. To her knowledge, she is the first Filipino-American professor of astronomy in the United States.

[NOTE - notice it says she is an ASSISTANT Professor then claims she is a full professor]

She's a person of little talent and no accomplishments and teaches at a second-rate school, so she has to focus on that "first." That is SO typical of liberal kooks. I'm surprised she didn't try to pawn herself off as Native American, but maybe we already have Native American professors of astronomy.

Would they be OK renaming everything involving Magellan to “Lapu lapu”?

[struggle]

Let’s colonize space

[Tommy Revolts]

Wouldn't they be better named after some LGBTQ+ or indigenous people?

Good Lord these people have psychosis.

Anytime I see these Morons trying to re-write or destroy history I have only one question:

What about the Democrat Party?
The Party of Slavery
The Party of Jim Crow
The Party of Segregation

You faux outrage over petty BS screams Hypocrisy in the face of your silence about the Democrat Party.
