Why doesn't UCSC show mouse centromeres?

Question

[brianpenghe]

Human genomes' centromeres are labeled with red arrows. However I can't find this type of labels in the mouse genome. Is there a way to show centromeres on the UCSC genome browser for mouse, too?

Mouse centromeres are telocentric (i.e., next to the telomeres), so they're not that terribly interesting to show.

However, chr Y is an exception: mouse chrY centromere location
