\n Political correctness has now expanded to space, where NASA says planets, galaxies and other heavenly bodies will no longer be referred to by \u201coffensive\u201d nicknames.<\/p>\n

In a press release Thursday, the space agency said that all planets and heavenly bodies will be referred only to by their scientific names, \u00a0the Houston Chronicle reported.<\/p>\n

Under the new rules, the \u201cEskimo Nebula,\u201d discovered in 1787 by William Hershel, will only be referred to as NGC 2392.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cSiamese Twins Galaxy\u201d will likewise be known only as NGC 4567 and NGC 4568.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the scientific community works to identify and address systemic discrimination and inequality in all aspects of the field, it has become clear that certain cosmic nicknames are not only insensitive but can be actively harmful,\u201d the agency said in a news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n

\u201cNASA is examining its use of unofficial terminology for cosmic objects as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Stephen T. Shih agreed, saying \u201cThese nicknames and terms may have historical or culture connotations that are objectionable or unwelcoming, and NASA is strongly committed to addressing them.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
