The names were selected by scientists with NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, who recently discovered 21 new constellations built from sources in the Gamma-ray sky. The naming ceremony also celebrates 10 years of the telescope’s operation.
Recently, the organization named another constellation after Toho’s Godzilla.
"Gamma rays are the strongest form of light," says a NASA statement. "They pack enough punch to convert into matter under the right circumstances, a transformation both Banner and the Hulk would certainly appreciate."
