By the way, judging from Quaoar and Varuna, the names of the KBOs are
finally going to start honoring other human mythologies besides the Greek --
and about time, too.
Hailing from a largely Nordic background, I move for tossing the Greeks, and installing Norse gods instead. After all, wouldn't you rather look up and see Valkyries in the sky, than a couple of musty, fusty Greco-Romans?
We'll rename Venus as Freya, Mars as Thor, or perhaps Tiw. Earth I suppose we'll just call Midgard, and Jupiter of course shall be Odin.
Quoar? Don't be ridiculous. Why would we have a Skraeling name for a planetary body?
Anybody for a bit of Wagner, to go with their mead?
