Earth is the only planet that isn’t named after a god.

My most random discovery since midnight

This is a great piece of trivia. Consider me informed.

And now, as Pluto is no longer a planet, Earth is also the only one that Holst didn’t write a symphony for.

NOTE: Someone should check if a descendant of Gustav Holst was on the team responsible for deciding that Pluto was no longer a planet. I smell a classical music conspiracy, and those are not all that frequent.
