Difference between revisions of "Saturn"

Saturn is named after the Roman god of wealth and agriculture and father of [[Jupiter]]. Its astronomical symbol (♄) has been traced back to the Greek Oxyrhynchus Papyri, where it can be seen to be a Greek kappa-rho with a horizontal stroke, as an abbreviation for Κρονος (Cronus), the Greek name for the planet. It later came to look like a lower-case Greek eta, with the cross added at the top in the 16th century to Christianize this [[pagan]] symbol.
