A petition has been launched to get NASA to name the black hole they discovered afterChris CornellofSoundgarden.
The galactic entity was named Powehi, which is a Hawaiian name referring to the "embellished dark source of unending creation." Of course, with Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and how much the cover ofSuperunknownlooks like the black hole photo, fans couldn't help but think that Cornell's name would be a better choice.
The petition says, "Chris left a heavy legacy for a new generation of musicians who follow in his footsteps. His memory will remain forever alive in the hearts of all his family, friends, fans and all the people who love him, and his music will do the same in each record, song or video we play... This would be a surreal and amazing way to honor his life and his contribution to music."
