A STEM-supporting picture book traces the historical naming of Pluto by an 11-year-old girl in 1930, describing how young Venetia Burney's love of Roman mythology led to her suggestion, which was subsequently voted on and adopted by London's Royal Astronomical Society and the Lowell Observatory discovery team.
