The second clue is what gave it away: Cthulhu Regio[^] is a region on Pluto, also called "The Whale" - so "This Plutonian whale opens new horizons" made that easy! New Horizons mapped Pluto, and found The Whale: Cthulhu Regio

The first Clue: Cthulhu was an "Ancient One" - an H P Lovecraft deity - we was described by his worshippers: "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming" - so he's asleep, but will reawaken to repossess the Earth.

The third clue is obvious given the explanations for the other two!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
