Two Themes Approved for Ceres

29 October 2014

The IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature has approved two themes for use on Ceres. The theme for craters is Gods and goddesses of agriculture and vegetation from world mythology. The theme Names of agricultural festivals of the world will be used for other features. The new themes can be found on the list of categories for naming features on planets and satellites in the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature.
