[quote:phoenixe:MV8yMTM4NjQ4XzM2MTEzMDYyXzVGRDAwM0JG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 25042174:MV8yMTM4NjQ4XzM2MTEyNDE3X0RGNEVBRTRF] wtf, styx? styx sucks! [/quote] yes, it does ! Even if those other names make more sense regarding all the other moons/planets names based on ancient mythology; but it would be fun to have at least one little moon namend after something what refers to nowadays tales, even if no one will understand it´s origin in about 100yrs. fyi about the meaning of those other names: The ancient grecian god of underworld Pluto is equivalent with the ancient romanian god of underworld Hades; In ancient grecian mythology, Hades is the name of the underworlds god as well as the underworld itself; you have to cross river Styx to get there, and Cerberus is the dog that secures the entrance of hades. Persephone is a goddess of the underworld as well, daughter of Zeus and was once kidnapped by Hades and brought there. As no one get´s back to the upper world, she had to stay there and rules with Hades. As the mythology goes, Orpheus´ wife Eurydike died due to a snake bite, and as he missed her so much, he went all the way down to Hades to persuade him to get his beloved wife back; Hades and Persephone allowed him to take here but under one condition; well,he messed up. Acheron is one of the 5 rivers flowing into Styx; Alekto - goddess of immoral behaviour Erebos - god of darkness; Hypnos - god of sleep Lethe - another one of the 5 rivers flowing into Styx Obol - ancient coin which was buried with the dead to pay ferryman Charon for their passage over Styx to get to Hades. hope that helps with the decision :) [/quote]

Cpt Kirk (William Shatner) needs our help !
see his comment on his facebook-page
"I need your help. As you saw with my post below, I asked that fans write in to get the name of one of Pluto's moons Vulcan (Romulus was already the name of a moon.) It apparently made a difference as they now have added it as an official name. Isn't that wonderful.
However, we now need votes, as Pluto was put put up today and we are in last place. Would you please consider voting for Vulcan?
