In this video:
The girl was Venetia Burney of Oxford, England. Venetia’s great uncle, Science Master of Eton Henry Madan, in 1877 suggested the name for the two dwarf moons of Mars, Deimos and Phobos (fear/panic and dread/terror). This was referencing the fact that Deimos and Phobos were twin brothers, the children of the god Ares (Mars in Roman mythology), specifically being the offspring of Ares and Aphrodite.

"big doors swing on little hinges" I really like that one!
+CtpThinkalot Bannanas Ditto! :-)
"Big doors swing on little hinges". Wow, that's actually a really philosophical thing to say XD
Jordan O'C Amazingly quote-worthy indeed!
Larger than Earth, but smaller than Uranus.

My therapist: beardless Simon isn't real, he can't hurt you
Beardless Simon:
We actually studied this in the Introduction to Astronomy and the Introduction to Astronomy Lab Class I took at the University for my Science with Lab requirement.
Hey look the narrator.
Alin Marginean More than just a disembodied voice ;)
5:32 OMG that is so much better than schools today.
Awesome new format! Thanks for producing such high quality videos on such a regular basis.
James Thompson Sure thing James, glad you liked this format. More like this will be coming soon :)
Well done Simon and the team of researchers! Through your channel I have learned more than through four years in high school :D
1:40 So, he'd been searching for this planet for several years, but hadn't thought of a name for it? Also, I still think "Uranus" needs to be renamed. How about "Urectum?"
Ah, yes, we knew another juvenile mind would have to get around to snickering about that name once again. You didn't disappoint us.
D.E.B. B You're welcome! :D
Francesco Casillas
Then they would have spelled it Urunus. Or Urinus if it was pronounced urine-us. Personally, I prefer Uranus. Helps give away the folks who tend to keep regressing to 8th grade humor instead of focusing on the discussion at hand.
I've always pronounced it U-Ran-Us
Urectum? Not Urbutthole? Not Urass?
Fascinating and informative, as always - it really is astounding how you manage to create such a volume of quality videos on diverse subjects. Nice to see you make an appearance for a change, btw!
***** Thanks Martin!
Really interesting! Thanks!
While I enjoy almost all of your videos anyways, something about this one was especially great, insightful, and rather enlightening. Thanks for it, and this new series as a whole.
blud63 Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Great format
shananagans5 Thanks :)
!!!!!! First time seeing you without a beard I'm speechless. (not that you looked bad just caught me by surprise) Glory to the almighty beard!! Keep up the good work fact boy.
Hey Vsauce Simon here, and i didnt do our intro
Nothing's bigger than Uranus
And another one exposes themselves as an underage youtube user.
Uranus means "Sky" in Greek.It was also the name of the father of Kronos,who was the father of Zeus.
I didn’t understand any thing and I liked lol 😂😌
"No little children, you can't have Pluto, due to Science." Said the lord and emperor of Science Neil Degrasse Tyson.
Holy smokes, Simon! You look so different now, but also exactly the same! Lol
I really like todayIfoundout and began listening to it on podcasts on android.
I understand that it was a cost measure but since moving to youtube, i tend to listen to it signifcantly less. It's just a lot more inconvenient and takes more data to watch a video than listen to a mp3 stream.
Are there any plans to resurrect the podcasts if a solution is in the works?
DalazG Eventually, yes. Though it might be a while. We're hoping to at some point change the format a bit to be much longer (probably weekly hour long shows or something) and leverage a large UA-cam audience (UA-cam subscribers tend to translate fairly well to podcast subscribers from people we've talked to) to help make the podcast even more popular, both points being much more desirable to potential advertisers and hopefully making such a thing financially sustainable. First, of course, we need to actually get the large UA-cam audience. ;-)
Wow. At first, the voice sounded familiar, but the face rang no bells. It was bothering me that I couldn't remember how I knew that voice. Then I paused it and it hit me. It was Simon Whistler's mini me.
Persephone would have been good too. And funny enough, would fit better as the name of the largest Dwarf Planet.
Lowell is pronounced LOW-ll
Oxford! :)
Did you actually go through this whole video without naming the actual astronomer who discovered the planet? Clyde Tombaugh. You're welcome. ;-)
Yeah I noticed that too. Not one word about Clyde.
Actually the search for the 9th planet was initiated by Percival Lowell in 1906 who founded the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, USA. He referred to it as “Planet X” when he, in 1915, spotted / captured some unclear images of this obscure object from that farthest realm of the solar system. Lowell’s researches, however, were cut short by his death in 1916.
The research was resumed in 1929 with Clyde Tombaugh locating a moving object from some of the images he likewise captured. In early 1930, the news on his discovery (or rediscovery?) of the new planet was communicated to the Harvard College of Observatory and in May 1930 Planet Pluto was given its official name.
Now I'm confused, someone once told me that this dwarf planet was named after this dog, lmfao
Pluto was actually the name of Hades after he married Persephone. It comes from Pluton, the giver of all things under the earth. I adore Greek mythology and so I'm very sad that Pluto has been demoted.
There will be vengeance.
i feel kinda sad that í can not subscribe twice
Did gust pronounce Lowell as Laowell
Informative video, but the frequent jump cuts are annoying.
Dave Wells Thanks Dave, we're still working on our production style :).
Well, Now I know why it is named Pluto.
Its definitely smaller than Uranus! Eyyyyyyy.
Okay I'll see myself out.
Good video. But Pluto was never "demoted".
I know a guy named lowell. it is, at least in his case, pronounced Low-wool
So Pluto 's(Mickey's dog) real name is Rover hmmmmm interesting 🤔
Oh my lord, honey!! Look at you!! So young😃 don’t worry, you age well✌️👍
is the narrator blurry or do i have to see an eye doctor
So was the cartoon dog named after the planet?
tzkelley "We thought the name [Rover] was too common, so we had to look for something else. ... We changed it to Pluto the Pup ... but I don't honestly remember why." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto_(Disney)#Origin :)
"5 pounds, or 5 billion yen today"
Well Pluto name after god of underworld Neptune Jupiter brothe
In hindi
Is it not Lowell pronounced like low?
Lliam Arden Hmm, not sure, I pronounced it the way a friend of mine with the name did, but maybe there are multiple ways :).
Correct, it's low-ul. I'm familiar with the observatory since I'm from Arizona and into astronomy.
It's Low-ul as some one who is so close I could walk to observatory and as visited it is "Low-ul" not "Lau-well".
What's with all the jumps in the video? It's kinda annoying. If it was because of slip-ups and restarting the sentence, could you try to edit more smoothly? Sorry, I'm annoying like that, but it would be nicer. I guess it's not so difficult when you're just reading and not filming, though. I did like this version with him actually being filmed, though.
Micah Philson Just working the kinks out. First time doing something like this. Thanks for the feedback. :-)
Today I Found Out I thought it might just be something like that, considering this is the first time it's been filmed like that. There's more to consider when editing than just the voice, but if you do it right, it's even cooler than the older videos.
Hey look! Stigler's/Boyer's/[InsertNameHere]'s Law was violated! Sort of!
I just want to say, that the girl by extension also pretty much named one of the sailor scouts, sailor Pluto, but naming the planet
Is this relevant at all, not really, just funny to me
What?... who is the presenter?
The seventh planet is the only one named after a Greek god. So for English speakers perhaps we should de-Latinize it and call it by its Greek name 'Ouranos.'
Once again you fucked up the pronunciation of someone's name. It is Low ell (short e) and not (Lah lle)
arbeeex Thanks, I was going to point this out!
The bread of life comment came from the bible, John 6:35
In general, you do great work, but MAN, you canNOT pronounce either Roosevelt or Lowell. You might need an American on staff you with American names (although, not all of use are good with those, either). I'd volunteer, but I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts and have the feeling that the commute might be prohibative.
Is mispronouncing things your thing?
pluto was a Greek God. not roman. period
Classical Romans like to take credit for things.
eleni lela No, Pluto was Roman. Hades was Greek.
A Bird Lover Pluto derives from the Greek word Πλουτωνας which haves 2 possible origins :
1. πλούτος which means wealth (Pluto or Hades was also considered the God of wealth)
2. πλανώμαι which means wandering-like the souls in Hades.
Also Hades is the word used for both the place and the God. eg : Odysseus visited Hades, the land of the dead...
eleni lela, pluto has the attribute of wealth, since gems come from the earth (underworld), but to my knowledge hades didn't, it's easy to forget the romans changed some things around when they appropriated themselves the pantheon
G33RsofDeath Hades was the God of wealth, sorry. But in looking up my facts to confirm them, I found that the Greeks also called him Plouton.
