It’s named after the greek god though, while all the other planets are named after Roman gods. It should be Caelus.

You’re right, it’s inconsistent. As far as I can tell, it’s because the person who named it fucked up and used a Greek god name rather than Roman. To the delight of immature people (like me) everywhere.

It’s just a communism joke, don’t worry about it.

Oh, the thought crossed my mind, but it’s very similar to the Greek spelling (Ouranos), so I thought it might be serious.

Now that’s interesting. Didn’t know the Greek had a different spelling.

The Greeks were making communist jokes long before it was even a thing!
