174. Q10
The name of X is probably the first science joke any of us learned. That
wasn’t always its name, though. It wasn’t firmly established for 70 years
after its discovery. William Herschel originally proposed naming the
planet “Georgium Sidus” (“George’s Star”) after King George III. The
name was even acknowledged by the Crown. But many weren’t happy
with the deviation from the naming traditions that had been set in place,
and by 1850, X was re-named. Give me X.
