I was curious about the name change and found this from someone who goes by the name Mark Dominus.
The Universe of Discourse "I contacted the United States Geological Survey to point out the hoax, and on Wednesday I got the following news from their representative: Thank you for your email alerting us to the possibility that the name Ysolo, as a festival name, may be fictitious. After some research, we agreed with your assessment. The IAU and the Dawn Team discussed the matter and decided that the best solution was to replace the name Ysolo Mons with Yamor Mons, named for the corn/maize festival in Ecuador. The WGPSN voted to approve the change. Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention." |
