Bonus Riddle Comin’ Up!

UPDATE:  Solved by Thom Cope at 12:33

Here we are again, and guess what?  Tom got a really cool prize lined up for a bonus riddle, so we’ll be running a bonus riddle Monday,  July 4th.  It’ll add a little something extra to your holiday celebration (if you’re American).  You have today and next Saturday to get your name on the list, so you get busy with that, you hear?  I know you’re ready to get going on the riddle, and I have an interesting one for your consideration.

Today’s riddle answer is found in the real world, but don’t leave the land of fancy too far behind.

It is correctly referred to by four “official” names and three “common” names.

It was independently discovered by three different people.

This was not known to your distant ancestors.

Mmmmmmm! Looks like dinner is ON!

There’s something rather remarkable about today’s riddle answer.

It’s doing something you don’t see happening every day.

Also, it’s quite the celestial beauty.

Recent studies indicate this sleepy-eyed beauty is probably the survivor of an ancient catastrophe.

If that’s not enough to grab you, your riddle answer hangs out in a very interesting neighborhood.

One thing is sure; just when you get comfortable, this lady will spin you around in a completely different direction.

...there's just something about them...

And there you have it.  As always, I’ll be hanging out in the comments… waiting patiently for someone to talk to me (heavy sigh).  So far, the people who are eligible to solve the bonus riddle are:  Bill, John, Roger, Jeff, Rob, Patrick, and Editus.  Hopefully, I’ll add your name to the list today.  Good luck.
