Can you see any familiar names? |
The Ancient Roman Mythology inspired astrologists throughout ages to name the celestial bodies (the twinkling stars and planets we see at night) after some influential characters.
For example, the asteroid Vesta, the dwarf planets Pluto, Eris, and Ceres, some moons like Nyx, Styx, Juno (...) were all named after the titans or deities from the Roman Mythology.
Of course, all the planets, as well as the Sun can be found in the family tree above.
But, what is the name of our Earth, and our Moon? Write your guesses in the comments!
