I don't know about all this renaming hoo-haw, but for the next couple of days you should be able to see five planets in the pre-morning sky (provided you don't have rain, clouds, excessive smog or bad eyesight that is!).  For those on the short bus, these planets include Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (though I suppose you could look straight down to see a sixth).  Of all of these, I'm still blown away when I can see Saturn's rings, usually with my binoculars.

They're renaming the candy bar?

You must have some really good binoculars. I'm about due for new ones... what do you have?
BTW, have you seen this APP? It is called Skyguide. It is one of my two favorite APPs. http://www.fifthstarlabs.com/#sky-guide

Hi,
 
What a ripoff ... I used some binoculars and could not find any spiders in mars!

I should hope so.  I mean, the alternative would be bloody stupid, right?  You'd have songs like, "Is there life on David Bowie?", sung by David Bowie, who's dead.
 
 
However, we have just had four David Bowie vending machines delivered downstairs, along with a pallet loaded with David Bowies, Galaxy's, Bounty Bars and the like.  So, it may be that I become involved in writing the software which will be installed on David Bowie vending machines worldwide!
 
[...and best of all, the David Bowies are currently free vend...]

I don't think a David Bowie bar would be appealing. A mind is a terrible thing..

I am thinking we could rename Pluto, BB King.  

 
David Bowie?

I bet Mick has spiders though... 
(And probably in that hat!)
