Known as Table Mountain, this New Wonder of the Natural World is the only natural monument to have what named after it?

South Africa's Table Mountain is the only natural landmark with a constellation named after it. That constellation is "Mensa," which in Latin means "table." Located in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere, French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille named the constellation in honor of the mountain after he first observed it off the Cape of Good Hope. Table Mountain often has its own "table cloth" laid overtop of it – i.e. another celestial body in the form of a cloud.
