I'm so glad that Charon is now a real planet!!
I chose to do a report on Charon in the fifth grade and I didn't get much credit for it because my teacher didn't believe that it really existed...

I agree with you there, more planets should have ladies' names besides Venus, and Earth (Gaia or Tellus). If only the ancients had telescopes to see what Saturn looked like, maybe they wouldn't have given that world a masculine name! With the new rules to constitute what makes a planet, and Asteroid Ceres now counting as a Planet, that makes the brings the female plaent count up to 3, giving the new one a ladies' name would mean 4. (though I do admit I don't agree with the new IAU ruling on Ceres being a planet)
