Ex-planet Pluto was discovered on this day in 1930. Its name was suggested by 11 year-old Venetia Burney, whose grandfather was friends with a guy in the Royal Astronomical Society of London—a.k.a. the dudes who were naming the new planet. What were some of the other names being considered? How about Minerva, Zeus, Atlas, and Persephone: a classy mythological theme. We have a feeling that the next new planet is going to be named named Aiden, Kaden, Hayden, or Jayden. And we're kinda okay with it.
