In our western astronomical traditions, we will honor the greeks with moonn aha. So basically, you take the roman right? You find a god, and then you say, ok, how's that translated into a greek god? And now we got a name for a moon. I can get to all moons in the solar system or named after greek characters in the life of the greek counterpart to the roman god after whom the planet is named. Mercury doesn't have any moons, and neither does venus. Mars has two moons, and they're pretty sorry moonsst they're like a doze miles across. Okand let's skib over earth
How did Uranus get its name? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explain all the things you thought you knew about the names of the planets and moons in our solar system, the formation of the moon, and the constellations.
