The name “Lucifer” can be defined as “The Morning Star”, or the planet Venus. That makes sense, but what about the connection to the reference in Isaiah 14:12: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
The Christian world is aware of the identification of the name Lucifer with Satan or the devil. That seems to be a strange name for that august organization to use for such an important scientific instrument. What do you think?
