Apparently, Tumblr, and Winter: charlesoberonn Apparently the current proposed name of the hypothetical ninth planet is Persephone which is such a good name I’m mad I didn’t think of it charlesoberonn Allow me to explain why it’s such a great name: It pays homage to Pluto, previously known as the ninth planet, since Persephone was Pluto/Hades’s wife in Greek Mythology It helps make up for the gender inequality in the names of planets, since Venus is the only other planet named after a woman If it exists, it’d be the coldest planet in the Solar System, and in Greek Mythology, it was Persephone’s time spent in the underworld that caused winter darkbluemint I’m into this swan2swan I can’t believe none of the reasons were “It’s what Pluto would want.” alexkablob #if he can’t be a planet at least his wife can Ninth Planet
