Who named the new tenth planet after an Inuit God figure?
All the other planets (yes bar us) are named after Roman versions of Greek Gods and has yeilded some wonderful names, so what right do they have to balls up the system now?
Agree or disagree?
What Roman God name would you have added to our solar system?

REDSCORPION that would probably be in a ship sponsored by a Global corporation. Do you really want a McPlanet up there?

Scientists using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory have discovered what they call a planet larger than Pluto in the far reaches of our solar system.
The planet, currently called 2003 UB313, is a trans-Neptunian object which means all or most if its orbit is beyond that of Neptune. The planet is a member of the Kuiper belt, which also claims Pluto and its satellite Charon as members.
A name for the new planet has been proposed by the scientists to the International Astronomical Union, but has not yet been approved until the IAU can determine the minimum size requirement for a planet.
Do you think 2003 UB313 is a planet? What would you name the 10th planet?

The planets started off being named in reverse order of paternity of Greek (or possibly Roman, i forget) gods in Mythology, i.e. Mars is son of Jupiter (alternative name for Zeus), who is son of Saturn, who is son of Uranus, the original Greek (Roman?) creator. Not much of an answer I know but given physicists love of completion and continuity I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was something along these lines that caused the naming of the planet i.e. the Inuit Creation god or King of Gods etc...
Or maybe they just liked the name ;-)

Ceres is a dwarf planet. Ceres is the Roman name for the Goddess of Agriculture.
Sedna is another of the dwarf planets. It is is named after Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, who was believed to live in the cold depths of the Arctic Ocean.
The Roman god I would have added is "Bacchus". I think we could all use a good bacchanalian revel.

a million. i don't believe of the Sumerians considered the Earth as a planet. this idea did not extremely take root until eventually the Greeks began to take a position about the Earth being round, 1000's of years after the Sumerian civilization had grow to be extinct. 2. The Sumerians did not have "contact with different worldly beings." in truth there's no historic list of anybody having contact with extraterrestrial beings. you've been observing too a lot nonsense on the heritage Channel. 3. It wasn't until eventually Galileo used his early telescope in 1609 to computer screen the planets that we knew for confident that planets were round bodies similar to the Earth.

In Greek mythology, Eris is the goddess of warfare and strife. Eris follows the use of Greek/Roman mythology. Eris is considered a dwarf planet by most astronomers.
If another really big planet is ever discovered in our outer solar system, something the size of Earth or larger, I think they should name it Bob.

I'd go with the close friend of Michael Palin's version of Pontius Pilate: Bigus Dickus.
