It all starts with a curiosity; the dwarf planet pluto



Souce


The name of the planet Pluto comes from the god of the underworld, but it turns out that Pluto the character was born almost at the same time, the dwarf planet Pluto was discovered in 1930 and in that same year they were producing a Disney animated film that premiered the following year with that character and that is why they gave him that name.


In any case, what caught my attention the most was not that, it was the girl above who died in 2008 by the way, at the time in 1930 she was 11 years old and her name was Betina Barney from the United Kingdom of Osford, she was the one who proposed the name of Pluto to the International Astronomical Union at the age of 11 because I argue that Pluto is the God of the underworld and therefore for a planet, which at the time was believed to be a planet that was at the edge of the solar system, in the darkest and coldest region of the solar system, of the underworld of the solar system, it seemed like a correct name.


This surprises me because it was an 11-year-old girl, today, what would an 11-year-old boy propose to the International Astronomical Union for a name for a planet, for example, when planet number nine will be discovered, a name will have to be given if planet number nine exists.
