• Galaxy Dog Names: A Tour From the Moon Outward, and the Stray Dog Who Orbited First

  The first creature to orbit the Earth was a dog, the Moscow stray Laika, aboard Sputnik 2 in 1957, so the cosmos has been a little canine for a long time, and that is where this guide to cosmic dog names begins. Because galaxy itself is a category rather than a name, the guide travels through it instead, in order of distance from the Moon outward. It explains that galaxy means milk, from the spilled-milk Milky Way of Greek myth, then works out through the Moon and Sun, the gas-giant planets for big dogs, the small moons Io, Titan and Rhea, the stars from Stella to Polaris, and the deep-space names Andromeda, Nova and Stardust. There is a section on the sky's mythic creatures, Pegasus, Hydra, Atlas and the zodiac lion Leo, and it closes with the human reach: the space dogs Laika, Belka and Strelka, and the astronauts Buzz, Neil and Apollo. Roughly fifty verified names, each matched to a scale of dog. Distinct from the site's Constellation and Aurora dog name guides.
