There are so many who deserve to be honored. Has anything been named after Isaac Newton? We should recognize the true giants. Distant planets aren't particularly Newton's line of work, but still, he's the progenitor of so much, and I can't think of anyone of his stature who hasn't had a big project named after him yet. (I know, there's Einstein; but let's get Newton in there first.)

Yes, the European Space Agency named their x-ray telescope after Newton.

BIG NEWTON
