Two planets were discovered on a March the 13th?

Funny how one gets named after an irritating Disney dog and the other is basis of hours of cheap TV gags.

I think the dog was named after the planet.

The planet was named for the mythological ruler of the underworld, following the theme
of its neighbors, Uranus, god of the sky, and Neptune, god of the sea.

The Next Planet will be named Gene Simmons, god of thunder, and rock 'n roll.

I've heard about films where Uranus is turned into a giant black hole.

I've heard William Herschel was known for
poking his nose where he shouldn't.
