"A potential explanation for Quaoar’s distant rings is the presence of a moon, Weywot. The moon may have created gravitational disturbances that prevented the ring’s particles from accreting into additional moons. Both rings occur in locations near what are known as resonances with Weywot, and the resonances may turn out to be more important than the Roche limit for determining whether rings turn into moons or remain as rings."
Arguably the ‘real’ name should be Terra (i.e the Roman name for the goddess of the Earth). But which also looks like the word ‘dirt’, but just wearing its Sunday best.
Although I totally support calling the moon ‘Diana’.
Nah. It’s the same thing as every culture naming themselves “the people”. Every species names their planet after the thing from which life grows and they stand on, ie “dirt”
