You're listening to Brains On, where we're serious about being curious. Brains On is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. This is Pop Planet, the show where we get up close and personal with the solar system. I'm your host, Star E. Knight. And hold on to your asteroid belts because our guests today are a real constellation of solar celebrities. They're the eight, the great planets! Sorry, folks. Let's try this again. Welcome, the planet!
Excuse me one sec. What is going on? Where are they? Um, sorry, Star. Earth just texted OMW. I think OMW stands for... Oiling my walruses. So probably Earth's walruses needed some oil first. What? That's ridiculous. That can't be what OMW means. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I know. OMW. Organizing Mercury's wigs. Isn't Mercury always wearing a wig? Oh, yeah. Wait, no. Mercury doesn't wear a wig. That's definitely not it. I got it. OMW means ordering more waffles. No.
Outside milking worms? No. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, of course. OMW means on my way. Earth and the other planets are on their way over. Yeah, that makes sense. What you talking about? We're just trying to figure out where Earth and the planets were. Wait. You're Earth! And you're here! With the other planets! Yeah, sorry we're late. That's why I texted. Oh yeah, you said OMW on my way!
No, I texted oiling my walruses. They get so cranky if their skin dries out. What? Never mind. Just glad you're here. Have a seat and we'll get to our interview right after this break. And wow, Mercury, you look amazing today. Thanks, Star. I'm wearing my favorite wig. You're listening to Brains On from APM Studios. I'm Molly Bloom, and my co-host today is Cassie from Lindhurst, New Jersey. Hi, Cassie. Hi, Molly. Is Cassie a nickname short for something? Yeah, it's short for Cassandra.
Very pretty name. Molly is short for Malmantha. which it's not. I'm just kidding. Molly is just my name and that's how I like it. But Cassie and I have names on the brain because today we're going to learn how the planets got their names. We'll hear the story of a funky little moon with a very strange name.
And we'll ask all of you for your help with some space names. But first, Cassie, I know you once wanted to work in space. What did you want to do in space? I wanted to be a moon archaeologist. That's really cool. So what is a moon archaeologist? So basically like a moon archaeologist would like go on the moon and like try to find bones and like rocks and stuff.
So cool. So do you still want to be a moon archaeologist? No. What do you want to do now? I want to be in a band and make music. What instruments would be in your band? Keyboard, guitar, bass guitar, drums, obviously. I'd probably sing. So why do you want to be a musician? What has made that exciting to you, do you think? I just really like making music. And I play a lot of instruments already. I know how to play a little bit of piano.
I know how to play flute. I know how to play guitar. If you could, would you still want to visit the moon? Yes, because I think it'd be cool. Yeah. How about play some music on the moon? Be the first band on the moon? That would be really cool. I think that maybe should be the new goal to be the first band on the moon. The first band to sell out a show on the moon. Yeah, exactly.
You just have to make sure you clean up afterwards because I know people have left a lot of garbage on that moon. So clean it up. Okay. So are you still interested in space, would you say? Yes, very much. I have a lot of books about it. And I just think it's cool because like there's so much of it that we haven't explored and it's so big. What are some of your favorite space things to think about? I like thinking about like how many other planets out there have like life on them.
What do you think? Do you think there are planets with life on them out there? Oh, definitely. There's like so much more of space out there. We can't be the only planet that has some type of life form. Well, Cassie, I am glad you are such a space fan because we've got some spacey questions to answer today. Hi, I'm Ada. And I'm Charlie. We are from Portland, Oregon. And we're wondering, why are so many planets named after the Roman gods?
Thank you. Hi, my name is Luca. I'm from Los Angeles, California. How did the solar system and all the planets get their names? Great questions. Let's find out. There are eight planets orbiting around our sun. In order from closest to the sun to farthest away, it goes... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto used to be considered a planet, but now it's classified as a dwarf planet.
We have a whole episode about that at BrainsOn.org. Speaking of episodes, let's turn on that pop planet show. They're going to interview the planets about their names. Oh, perfect. Let's watch. Welcome back. My guests today are the eight planets. Now, you are all so iconic. Jupiter, not only are you ginormous, but your big swirly storms are the talk of the solar system. Thank you. I'm burly and swirly. And Saturn, that ring?
Inspired. You know, Star, they used to say a planet with a ring was just a hoop dream, but I showed them. You sure did. Okay, I gotta ask, the names, where... do they come from? Mars, you want to take this one? Sure. I can talk about names till I'm red in the face. It really started with me, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury.
Way back in the day, we were the only planets that humans knew about. Uranus wasn't quite bright enough for humans to tell it was a planet, and you couldn't see Neptune at all. You mean, thousands of years ago, before telescopes, humans could only see a few of you with just their eyes? Exactly. And humans thought we were dazzling, so they named us.
Different cultures around the world called us different things, but in English the names come from the ancient Romans. They named us after the gods in their mythologies. They named me after Jupiter, the king of the gods. Makes sense. I'm the biggest. Mercury here. I orbit the sun really fast. Like zip zap zoom. Only takes me 88 Earth days to whip around the whole ginormous sun. So they named me after the speedy messenger of the gods, Mercury. Mars.
That's me. Well, they thought I looked red like blood, so they named me after the god of war. Venus here looks so sparkly and bright from Earth, so they named it after Venus, the god of love and beauty. And Saturn is named after the god of agriculture and time. Amazing! Must be an honor to have such mythologically mighty names. And what about you, Earth? What...
God are you named after? Ooh, that's a sensitive... Yeah, Earth's kind of touchy about... No, it's fine, guys. It's fine. I've come to terms with it. Terms with what? Well... I am not named after a god. My name comes from Old English or Germanic words for ground, which is cool. I'm grounded. I've got ground all around. Besides, they may be named after gods, but I'm the only planet with walruses. Ugh.
There you go again, Earth. Always rubbing it in. It's so unfair. What I wouldn't give to have walruses on old Jupiter. I know. They're so cool, right? The coolest. I mean, tusks? Get out of here with that. I want them. Fascinating stuff. Well, that's all we have time for today. I'm Star E. Knight, and this has been... Now Earth, how much exactly do the walruses need to be oiled? There are lots of things in space besides these eight planets. Like asteroids and comets.
moons and stars. Some of these things have official names, but many don't. And one celestial body recently went from being pretty much unknown to famous. That's right. And the science podcast Radiolab did an episode all about it. Here to tell us more is Radiolab co-host Latif Nasser. Hi, Latif. Hi. Hi. Hello to both of you. Thanks for having me.
Oh my gosh, we're so glad you're here. So, the story starts when you were putting your son to bed one night. Can you tell us what happened? Sure, yeah, of course. So one night I was putting my son to bed. And out of the corner of my eye, I saw this poster on the wall that we had put there, my wife and I. It's a poster of the solar system, right? And I saw out of the corner of my eye this thing I had never seen before on that poster, which was that...
Next to the little circle for Venus, there was a dot, which was supposed to be a moon. And I was like, huh, that's weird. Like, I didn't know Venus had a moon. I don't remember learning about that. And so I looked it up and on the NASA website, it said that Venus did not have a moon. And I was like, that's weird. And so the next morning I looked at that poster. I looked at it again. And not only did Venus have a moon on the poster, which I think shouldn't have been there, but then also that.
Venus Moon had a name, and the name was Z-O-O-Z-V-E. How would you pronounce that, Cassie? Zuzve? Yeah. Right? Zuzvi, Zuzve, something like that. So I was like, that's weird. So I Googled that. Nothing. No results in English for Zuzvi. Huh. And I was like, that's really weird. kind of a mystery, right? Yeah. So I kind of was like, where do I even go with this? So I have a friend, her name is Liz Landau, and Liz works for NASA.
And kind of her job would be like if reporters or other people had questions about space, they would go to her. So she's like an expert at fielding these kinds of questions. So I called her. And she had no idea what I was talking about. Like, she's never gotten this question from anybody before. That's weird. Really weird, right? I was like, oh, come on. Somebody must have asked this. But she said, no, I don't know what you're talking about. So then I hung up with her and I was like, what? What?
am I going to do? But then she texted me back and she was like, I figured it out. It's not Zeus V or Zeus V. It's. 2002 V.E. It's like a typo or something. I later found out that the guy who was the designer of that poster, his name is Alex Foster. He mistook his own handwriting and and and made it Zeds.
instead of twos and zeros. Then I was like, oh, cool. So that really is a thing. But then that led me to the next question of like, what even is this thing? How come NASA is saying Venus doesn't have a moon and this poster is saying that it does? And it turned out.
It's kind of a moon, but kind of not a moon. It's this whole new category of thing called a quasi moon. And what is a quasi moon? So a quasi moon is an... asteroid that orbits... the sun like a planet does but also at the same time it's orbiting a planet so it's doing what a moon does and doing what a planet does at the same time and because it's doing this sort of three-way dance it's
really hard to predict and kind of strange. That's really cool. So are there other quasi moons out there? Yeah. So this one was the first one they ever found. And then after that, they started discovering more of them and more of them and more of them. And. Guess what? They discovered some around Earth. We have quasimoons too, not just Venus. And we have something like seven quasimoons, maybe more, but they just keep discovering them.
Are all quasimoons the same? Are there different types? Should I tell you some of the kinds? Do you want to hear some of the kinds of quasimoons that they found out there? Sure. So when you look at them from the perspective of the sun, they just kind of look like a planet, like they're going around just sort of hula hooping, right? But if you look at them from the perspective of the closest planet, from Venus or from Earth, they just do weird...
dances around us that like you would that I never thought were even possible so for example there's some that go around in a loop right there's some that they don't do a full loop around the planet it like goes around as if it's doing a loop and then it'll like turn around and go back the other way, kind of like a horseshoe. And then there's another kind. It just looks like it's staying still. It's just like hanging out like next to us and not moving at all, which is really weird.
I think of it like it's Earth's Secret Service agent or something, you know? Yeah. And then there's another one, and this one's kind of my favorite, where it just like kind of almost like wiggles back and forth, making like a comma shape. And the name for this is my favorite. They're called tadpoles, which is kind of awesome.
And like for me, I don't know, I'm like, whoa, I didn't know things could move that way in space before. I thought everything was just making sort of an oval or a circle, but there are these other things and they're making all these funny movements. Yeah, I thought they only moved in circles too. Yeah. Cool, right? So what happened after you learned about this quasi-moon, 2002 VE?
I kind of, to be honest with you, even though it's sort of just a space rock, I kind of fell in love with it. Like I was like, oh, this thing is so interesting. And I and part of the thing I fell in love with actually was the name Zuzve. And I was like, oh, what if I could get them to actually name it?
Zuzve? Like, do you think they could actually name it Zuzve? So there's this group called the International Astronomical Union, and they are in charge of naming all the things in space. And so I put in a... petition to actually officially rename 2002 VE Zuzve. Did it work? Did they accept the submission? We'll find out in just a moment. Suspense! Excitement! But first, it's time for...
Hey, that's my line, but honestly, you sounded great doing it. Latif, would you like to play the Mystery Sound game with me and Cassie? Are you kidding? It would be my honor. I would love to do it. Okay, wonderful. Cassie, are you ready for the mystery sound? I was born ready. Here it is.
All right. Who would like to guess first? Cassie, go first. I have a really good guess because I think I know what it is. It sounds like someone's like cutting like a carrot or like a piece of lettuce or they're like cutting cardboard. Okay, something being cut.
Either something edible or not edible. We're not sure. Something edible or cardboard. Okay. What do you think, Latif? I'm old enough to remember rotary telephones. I think it might be a rotary telephone being dialed. Okay. Can you describe? What that is, what is a rotary telephone?
There used to be a phone and it had this like circle on the front of it. And the circle had little circular holes all the way around. And each of those holes had numbers in them. And then to dial a number, you would have to put your finger on the whatever seven.
And then you would like pull it around and then you'd let go. And then it would make that kind of noise, maybe somewhat similar noise to this. And then you would just have to one at a time dial each of those numbers to get your phone number. I've seen those in old movies. Yeah, that's the one. All right, you guys want to hear it one more time? Sure. Yes, please.
It's definitely cutting some type of vegetable. What do you think, Latif? Are you sticking with the phone? No, I had a totally different idea. Okay. They're those like wooden puzzles where you can like move around the tiles and then makes a picture. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. It's like they're kind of like fixed in the puzzle and you slide them around. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what that's what it was in my imagination. I don't know.
I love it. These are both excellent guesses. We're going to hear it again at the end of the show and the answer. So stick around. We are working on an episode all about animal leadership, and we want to hear from you. What animal do you think would make an excellent leader? What qualities do you think are important for a leader to have? What could our human leaders learn from this animal? Cassie, what animal do you think would make a good president?
I think a whale would be a good present because I know whales are really smart. Or maybe dolphins. Who do you think should be at the top of the ticket, the dolphin or the whale? Dolphin. Because I know they know how to, like, use tools, too, and they have basically their own language. Excellent. Latif, do you have any opinions on an animal that would make a good president?
I agree with whales have a lot of gravitas. You know, they are big and they are they they hold the room and they will like when whales talk, people listen, you know. Mm-hmm. They really do. Well, listeners, we want to hear from you. Record your answer and send it to us at BrainsOn.org contact. While you're there, send us your mystery sounds, drawings, and questions. Like this one.

You're listening to Brains On. I'm Cassie. And I'm Molly. Today we're talking about how things in space get their names. All the planets except for Earth were named after Roman gods. But there are a ton of other things in space, like asteroids and stars that... don't have names, or they have names that could be a little more fun. Like 2002 VE, the quasi-moon Latif discovered on the map in his son's bedroom. So Latif, what happened? Did you get to rename 2002 V.E. Zuzve?
It worked. It kind of shouldn't have worked because they have so many rules about how you can name things. And one of them is that if something is a certain distance from Earth, you have to name it after a mythological character or something from mythology.
And this was not a mythological name. So I was like, oh, it's definitely not going to work. But then I think they just they thought the story was kind of funny about the poster and everything. So then they were like, OK, like usually they have to be mythological names, but we'll make this one. So they actually officially named it Zuzve. That's really cool. Yeah, kind of funny, right? Yeah. What are the rules for naming an object in space? Yeah, so if you want to name something in...
The name has to be 16 characters or less, so it has to be kind of a short-ish name. It has to be named after a mythological character or some name from mythology. But that could be fictional mythology. Like they've named stuff after like the Lord of the Rings and stuff like that. That's cool. People used to name stuff like after their pet, but they're not allowed to do that anymore. People got upset.
So you can't name things after yourself. You can't name things after politicians. You can't name things after like a product or a company. So like you can't be like, oh, this is the Twinkie asteroid or something. So, yeah, they have a lot of rules. And Zuswe didn't exactly. fit the rules, but they made an exception. That's really cool. Are there similar rules for like when scientists discover new species of animals? It's similar in that the discoverer
usually has sort of first dibs to name the thing. But it's kind of like whoever discovers it gets to mostly name it whatever they want. But I think now there's more and more rules. And is it the same in space where the person who discovers it gets first dibs? Yeah, so Discovery gets first dibs, but that only lasts for something like 10 years. And then after 10 years, they kind of open it up to anybody who wants to name it.
And that was the case for Zuzve, like the person who discovered it. He had actually discovered so many things in space. I was like, you discovered this cool thing called a quasi moon. Like, don't even. And he's like, I discovered what? He didn't even know. It was very funny.
So the discoverers have sort of first dibs on naming for about 10 years. And then after that, they kind of open it up to anybody who wants to name it. That's interesting. So Latif, you successfully got 2002 VE renamed to Zeus Vey. What next? So, I and my team at Radio Lab, we had so much fun getting Zuzve named that we were like... Everybody should get a turn to do this because it's so fun. And remember, Earth has a bunch of quasimoons, right? And a lot of those quasimoons of Earth...
don't have names. And so we approached this group, the International Astronomical Union. In my head, I call them the guardians of the galaxy because I feel like that's really what they are. So I approached this group and I was like, hey. Could we partner together, Radiolab International Astronomical Union, to make a contest to let people, the people of Earth, name an Earth quasimoon? And they said yes. So that's what we're doing. That's really cool. Yeah.
So we found a quasimoon, an Earth quasimoon, and we picked the weirdest one that we possibly could find whose orbit looks like it's like, I don't know, like it's really dizzy and it's like wandering around. You're like, what? It's a rock. It's probably gray. It's shaped kind of like a potato the size of the Eiffel Tower.
Basically, if you can imagine that like an Eiffel Tower potato and it doesn't have a name. And so we are taking name submissions from all over the world. And then we're going to boil those down to just a few options. And then we're going to have everybody vote on it. I have a question. Sure. Would a potato moon Eiffel Tower be considered a French fry? French? Ooh, such a good, such a good question. I mean, it would be inedible, but it would be, I mean, it does feel very French. Yeah, to me.
So we actually have a picture of the quasimoon's orbit on our website. This is how the quasimoon moves. Cassie, what do you think it looks like? It looks kind of like a pretzel. Mmm, another delicious thing. It also looks like, if you've ever seen the x-ray of a human, it kind of looks like the shoulder bone. Oh, I like that. That's good. It kind of looks like a butterfly to me. Oh, yeah.
We're also like a saddle kind of. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can see that. It also looks kind of like a gas mask. Oh, whoa. Did not see that coming. Interesting. We were doing this and we had like every member of our staff that was in the office that day, everyone came in and we were like, what does this look like? We did it one at a time. Everybody had a different answer.
That is incredible. So yeah, listeners, go check it out at our website, BrainsOn.org. You can see this very cool orbit of the moon that we're looking for names for. So, Latif, when... people can submit their names, do they have to follow those rules? The International Astronomical Union set? Yeah, they do have to follow the rules. So it does have to be a mythological name. And it can be any culture anywhere all over the world.
In my imagination, it's kind of like a trickster. Like maybe there's some trickster from some culture's mythology. But if you can kind of look at that orbit and see some kind of mythological...
resonance with something else out there, yeah, please, like, submit a name. Cassie, any ideas come to mind about what this quasimoon should be called? Well, I said it kind of looked like shoulder bones, so I was thinking maybe... like atlas because he carries the heavens on his shoulders but there's already something in space called atlas right right that makes sense but that's that was a good idea i like the shoulder to atlas connection
Yeah, that is really cool. Well, listeners, if you would like to suggest a name, head to radiolab.org slash moon to learn more and submit your idea. They're accepting submissions until the end of September, so they're still... Plenty of time. And remember, you'll need an adult to help you prepare your submission.
Latif, any other words of wisdom, advice to share since you're someone who has successfully named an object? My best advice would be to think about, like, is there a special connection between that name? And the thing, is there something about the thing that reminds you of the name or something about the name that reminds you of the thing? But to try to try to focus on that connection right there. Excellent advice. And lots of do you think it's.
important to name things in space. Does it help people feel more connected? Oh, yeah. I think it's almost like we all live in a house together. And for whatever reason... Maybe we're grounded or something. We can't leave the house.
But we can look out of the window and see all the kind of interesting things that are happening in our neighborhood. And so you want to kind of be able to talk about it. And to do that, you need to kind of name things. But then also, it's like, this is our neighborhood. It's sort of an extension of our... Even though we can't go there and kick around pebbles and stuff, this is still our neighborhood. And I think there's something really special and important about that for us all to know.
where we live and what's around us, I don't know, there's something just, to me at least, that feels very basic, you know? Latif, thanks so much for talking with us. We cannot wait to submit our ideas. But before you go, are you ready to go back to the mystery sound? Yes. Oh, yeah. All right. Here it is again.
All right. New thoughts? I don't have any new thoughts. I'm 100% sure it's like cutting some sort of vegetable on like a cutting board. Okay, great. What about you, Latif? What do you think? Yeah. No new thoughts. It's either a rotary telephone or a wooden puzzle or cutting or something completely different than all of those. It could be anything. It really could. Maybe it's Zuzve saying hi. We don't know. All right. Here is the answer. Hi. My name is June, and I am from Brooklyn, New York City.
The sound you just heard was the sound of me hand cranking a pencil in a pencil sharpener. Oh. Of course. A pencil sharpener. I was so sure it was cutting vegetables. It sounded just like it. Well, you know, wood of a pencil is from a plant. So in a way, it's being shaved, which is close to cutting. That's true. So was I right technically? I'm giving you partial credit. Yay! Can we hear it one more time? Yeah, absolutely.
This is like one of those sharpeners in the classroom, like the big ones. Yeah, I hear it now because at my house, we have one that's kind of like that. And also the cranking feels like the dialing of the phone. Yes, exactly. It's a round movement. So you were close. I'm also giving you partial credit. I'll take it.
Excellent work, both of you. That was a tricky one. It was kind of like if you combine our two guesses, it's like we got it. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Teamwork. Well, Latif, thank you again for joining us. It's a true pleasure. Yeah, thanks. Bye. Bye. Bye. That is such a cool story. And now I really want to submit a quasi-moon name too at radiolab.org slash moon. So Cassie, why do you think it's cool to name things in space? I think it's cool because like if one day someone is stargazing and like...
They look up in the sky and they're like, oh, that's so-and-so. It'd probably be cool knowing that, like, you named something in space and everybody's going to be using that name for that one particular object. And it's kind of like... You're in space when you're not really in space, kind of, if that makes sense. Yeah, totally. That does make sense. Well, Cassie, speaking of naming things, have you ever noticed how Earth's moon is just called moon?
Yeah, other moons in our solar system have unique names, like Titan, Callisto, and Mimas. But ours is just Moon with a capital M. It's a fine name, very accurate, but what if it had another name? We asked all of you what you would name our moon if it were up to you. My name is Owen. I live in Santa Clara, California, and my new name for the moon is Seeker. I think the moon should be called Saturn Moon, because Saturn's my favorite planet.
Hi, my name is Marcia Lucia. I am seven years old from San Leandro, California. I would name the moon Shine Super Bright because the moon shines... Hey, my name is Violet from Knoxville, Tennessee, and what I would rename the moon is Artemis, because one, she's my favorite goddess, and two, She's the goddess of the moon. Hi, my name is Holland from Arizona. I think it should be Mr. Crater because the moon has craters.
My name is Vera, and my name for our moon would be Anthony after the Greek goddess of war and wisdom. Hi, my name is Marshall, and I think the moon should be called Zib Zab because it is a funny name. Hi, I'm Anna from Toronto, Canada, and I think the... The moon should be called Earth Friend because it's beside the Earth, but it's not the Earth. Thanks to all of you for sending in those excellent names for our pal.
The moon. Our planets were named after Roman gods. Except Earth. The word Earth comes from the Germanic word for ground. But there are lots of other things in space that need names. Our friend Latif Nasser from Radiolab renamed the quasi-moon 2002VE Zuzve. And now you have a chance to rename a quasi-moon too. Head to radiolab.org slash moon to learn how you can submit your idea. And remember, you have until September 30th, 2024 at midnight to do it. So get brainstorming and aim for the stars.
