Pluto the Myth: With the exception of Earth, planet names are derived
from Roman and Greek mythology. The ancient Romans knew Pluto as god of the underworld.
Virgil, the classical Roman poet, wrote about Pluto and
his golden palace in The Aeneid.
Atomic number 94: In 1940, scientists at UC Berkeley synthesized element 94 by bombarding uranium-238 with deuterons. Named after the planet, this new addition to the periodic table of elements joined the nuclear arms race. The second atomic bomb that destroyed Nagasaki was made of Plutonium-239.
Fat Man, codename for the atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki.
