How about Juno?

Queen of the Gods. Jupiters wife and sister, sister to Neptune and Pluto, daughter of Saturn, mother of Juventas, Mars, and Vulcan. Protectress of the Roman state. She was the guardian of the Empire's finances and considered the Matron Goddess of all Rome. The Matronalia, her major festival is March 1-2. Her other festival, on July 7-8, was called Nonae Caprotinae ("The Nones of the Wild Fig"). The month of June was named after her.

Here's a quote from NASA.

"A name for the new planet has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name."

"Brown said the discoverers were holding off making an announcement until after they completed their observations. But hackers found the discovery on a private website and trio decided to go public."

O.k. Who here wants to fess up?

Actually, they found two objects. The first was announced on Friday, and the second after the site was hacked.


2003 EL61 and 2003 UB313

Juno is already used as the name of one of the larger asteroids.

Minor tidbits of information on it here, and here, both from a quick search of NASA's website.

I heard they're calling it "Microsoft". Yes, "Microsoft". If I'm not mistaken, they even trying to "patent" it, since MS stuff was used to find it. It must certainly be thiers.

If there are any kind of cosmic deities that supervise this planet, they'll soon give it a thrashing because of the greed and stupidity of the humans here!
