Name conflicts in astronomy
open-in-new
<p>There are several real or apparent name conflicts between different <a href="/facts/Solar_System/QIcLSazQ">Solar System</a> bodies, in spite of efforts to give every named body a distinct name. Most of these conflicts are between <a href="/facts/Asteroid/g7Ulr1VB">asteroids</a> and <a href="/facts/Natural_satellite/AE4KQKbq">natural satellites</a> of planets, which are named according to different but partially overlapping schemes. Most satellites are named after people and divinities in <a href="/facts/Greek_mythology/M7k4FvW8">Greek</a> and <a href="/facts/Roman_mythology/sA0FnmbG">Roman mythology</a>; this is rarely true of asteroids currently, with the exception of <a href="/facts/Centaur_(planetoid)/jXpnm7dv">centaurs</a> and <a href="/facts/Jupiter_trojan/KN9dgpUr">Jupiter trojans</a>, but formerly many asteroids had mythological names, which consequently came into conflict with the names of natural satellites. </p>
