The planetary star system
The planetary star system
All the planets in this star system have been named after old gods and goddesses from an ancient Earth culture and mythology. This is because the planet Calypso was originally named from the same ancient source of cultural information that was used to name the Odysseus Probes, a mythical adventure and epic journey of a hero named Ulysses.
