Have you ever gone to the city and visited the Hayden Planetarium, just hoping to catch a glimpse of Neil deGrasse Tyson? This New York-native has reached fame exceeding any astrophysicist of this century since starring in Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey in 2014.

And, you know, demoting Pluto to "dwarf planet" status.

Recently, he posted a list of "Cosmic Car Names," in which Ford got a heap of attention.

Ford Taurus

He writes: "The Bull. A zodiacal constellation. One of twelve traditionally identified with the zodiac."

Ford Focus

"There are no microscopes, telescopes, and there would be no vision at all without lenses or mirrors bringing light to a focus."

Ford Fusion

"When you slam together the nuclei of light elements to form heavier ones on the Periodic Table of Elements, then you have fusion. When you do this with elements lighter than Iron, the reaction liberates nuclear energy. The Sun executes controlled nuclear fusion in its core, slamming hydrogen into itself to make the heavier element Helium."
