Just thought I would start a similar topic as the 'VOYAGER chronology' ... of course with nice diagrams

No, PhilCo126. This reference does not contain the names in question. Of course, it's not a problem to find that names Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Andrastea, Pan, Poseidon, and Hades were given to the seven Jupiter moons, J VI through J XII, in 1955 and replaced in 1975 by the names we are used to see. I was asking about the story behind this short-lived nomenclature that was in official use during the Pioneer flybys. By the way, here in Russia I never heard of those old names earlier. Not because I was young in 1975 -- I've read a lot of books in astronomy which could contain them. |
