NASA is having a contest to give a nickname to "(486958) 2014 MU69", a rock past Pluto that will be observed by the New Horizons probe in 2019. You can go here to vote:

(or here to see what's in the lead: http://www.frontierworlds.org/vote-tally)

Or go here to nominate a name yourself:

I couldn't help myself and nominated the first thing that came to mind: Winnipeg.

For why, I said: "Because like its terrestrial namesake, it's going to be very, very (ridiculously) cold".
