Why name a crater after Pablo Neruda?

Our planet is not a single entity separate from the rest of the universe. It is a living celestial body that is dependent on every other living thing. Earth was bombarded with meteorites and other particles, but through the shifting of continents and changing landscape of our planet, the damage is not apparent. While other planets have their scars exposed as craters. Craters on other planets and on our own Moon are clear examples of our connectivity and dependency with everything in the universe and of our own frailty. Much of Pablo Neruda's work deals with humanity's frailty and passion for life. He is one of our greatest poets and the people's poets. To honor him and his work, we have petitioned the International Astronomical Union to name a crater on Mercury after him. [more]
