In this episode, Doug examines the moons, asteroids, and dwarf planets of our solar system along with some constellations we see in the night sky. And he determines how alike these bodies are with their Greek and Roman mythological namesakes.
Learn about how Jupiter placed two constellations to torture Orion, the hunter. Discover how the pettiness of Eris caused the discord of the Trojan war, and how the discovery of the dwarf-planet, Eris led to the discord of revoking Pluto's planetary status. Learn about Icarus the daring teenage boy, Icarus the asteroid that comes dangerously close to earth, and how you can have your own Icarus experience on one of Saturn's moons (I'm talking about being able to strap wings onto your arms and actually flying). Discover why there is a constellation of an eagle, a cup, and two fish tied together all next to each other.
