The Solar System and Mythology
As we've been studying the solar system, I've realized how often the names of stars, moons, and even planets are in mythology (of all sorts).
I decided to spend my free time looking up a few of them and I made a list:
.Olympus Mon (Mount Olympus in Latin)
.Neptune
.Venus
.Earth
.Mars
.Jupiter
.Saturn
.Uranus
.Pluto
.Phobos
.Deimos
.Io
Europa
.Ganymede
.Callisto
.Thebe
.Metis
.Amalthea
.Himalia
.Elara
.Pasiphae
.Sinope
.Lysithea
.Carme
.Ananke
.Leda
.Adrastea
.Titan
.Rhea
.Iapetus
.Dione
.Tethys
.Enceladus
.Mimas
.Hyperion
.Prometheus
.Pandora
.Phoebe
.Janus
.Epimetheus
.Helene
.Telesto
.Calypso
.Atlas
.Pan
.Cordelia
.Ophelia
.Bianca
.Juliet
.Puck
.Miranda
.Ariel
.Titania
.Oberon
.Triton
.Nereid
.Naiad
.Thalassa
.Despina
.Larissa
.Proteus
.Galatea
.Charon
.Hydra
.Nix
I didn't really explain, but if you were curious most of these are related to Greek Mythology, but not all.
If you want more information on any of these, leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
