Planetymology is an illustrated introduction to the etymology - the evolution and origins of words - in the context of astronomy. It focuses on European observations of the planets; from Mercury (known to the Ancient Greeks and Romans) all the way to Pluto (discovered as a planet in 1930 and reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006). This book takes the reader on a tour of the Solar System, introducing the cosmic entities encountered on the way both as characters from Roman and Greek mythology, and as exotic worlds with alien characteristics. It traces the planets' names all the way back to words used by the first humans in Europe, and shows how they often have surprising links to familiar modern-day words. Planetymology is ideal for kids aged 8 - 15, and will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in language, ancient history and/or astronomy. Blurb: The planets' names carry secrets... How is Neptune linked to hippopotamuses? Which planet's name means Sky-Father? Why did Pluto fail the planet test? Why is Uranus not called George? Read about the Gods and Goddesses that the planets are named after, discover how their names evolved from the language of ancient humans, and uncover hidden links from their names to familiar, commonly-used words. At the same time, learn about the weird and whacky weather on other planets, compare their crazy day-and-night cycles to ours on Earth, and meet Pluto's new dwarf planet friends...

According to a long-standing astronomical tradition, the naming of minor planets in the solar system is the privilege of the discoverers. Contrary to most other kinds of celestial objects which receive complex alpha-numerical designations, the names of minor planets often say more about the discoverers than about the object in question. There is a rich and colourful variety of ingenious names, from those of heavenly goddesses in the nineteenth century, to the more prosaic and sometimes very specific names of observatories, towns and mountains, computers and persons, given by present-day discoverers. Commission 20 of the International Astronomical Union, under whose auspices the naming of minor planets falls, has long been concerned with the need to establish a complete catalogue of these names, as well as of the interpretation of their meanings. For this purpose, a Study Group on the Origin of Minor Planet Names was set up at the time of the IAU General Assembly in Baltimore in August 1988. The Working Group immediately started to collect information about these matters from all available sources, including some earlier, incomplete compilations made in the U.S. and in Europe, and also by personal interaction with living discoverers of minor planets.

Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, Fifth Edition, is the official reference for the field of the IAU, which serves as the internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and any surface features on them. The accelerating rate of the discovery of minor planets has not only made a new edition of this established compendium necessary but has also significantly altered its scope: this thoroughly revised edition concentrates on the approximately 10,000 minor planets that carry a name. It provides authoritative information about the basis for all names of minor planets. In addition to being of practical value for identification purposes, this collection provides a most interesting historical insight into the work of those astronomers who over two centuries vested their affinities in a rich and colorful variety of ingenious names, from heavenly goddesses to more prosaic constructions. The fifth edition serves as the primary reference, with plans for complementary booklets with newly named bodies to be issued every three years.
