If 174,062 Star Trek fans get their way, one of Pluto's moons will soon officially be referred to as Vulcan. The name, inspired by Spock's fictional home planet, won a public poll conducted by the SETI Institute. Presented a list with 21 possible candidates, voters put their weight behind Vulcan en masse. Actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, both of whom starred in the original Star Trek television series, have campaigned for the cause via Twitter in recent weeks.
