Romans vs Modern Astronomers Naming Planets
The Romans naming Planets This looks huge, let's name it King Of The Gods (Jupiter) Modern Astronomers naming Exoplanets OGLE-05-390L b
A meme contrasts the grand, mythological Roman name Jupiter, meaning King of the Gods, with the technical designation OGLE-05-390L b given to a modern exoplanet. The joke mocks how astronomers assign dry, confusing catalogue names to newly discovered planets, making them seem less impressive. It is used as a reaction to overly bureaucratic or unimaginative naming.
