Shahrukh Khan is now on the moon. A crater named after the King Khan!

All you Earthlings can now head to moon and still get to have a glimpse of your favourite celeb Shah Rukh Khan as a lunar crater has been named after the popular Bollywood actor. Moon, also known as the ‘Sea of Tranquillity’ for the deadly silence it encompasses contains innumerable pits and craters.

Moon, the sole satellite of planet Earth was 1st conquered by humans when the American astronaut Neil Armstrong along with his crew members landed on the moon on the historic date of July 20th, 1969 and since then astronomical science has never looked back.



The International Lunar Geographic Society, a New York based organisation that devotes itself towards studyingthe Moon has announced the naming of a crater after the ‘Bollywood Badshah’. The final approval was made by International Astronomical Union. The crater “has been given the honorary designation as the Crater S R Khan on the occasion of Mr. Khan’s 44th birthday” on 2nd November, 2009, the society declared.

So, SRK can now enjoy his vacations up there……..after all, he has got himself a home on the moon…….be it a crater…….
