Interested in Ceres, the object for which (I assume) the unstable devuan is named after?

This site posts a new photo with a caption every day. I visit the site every now and then to see its daily archive to catch on unseen images. For a celestial curiosity seeker, you might find this site interesting. I couldn't find anything on this site regarding jessie, ascii, beowulf, chimaera, or daedalus.

I'm pretty sure ceres is named after the Greek Goddess of fertility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceres_(mythology)
Beowulf is an ancient Gothic hero (and the name of a poem about him): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_(hero)
Daedalus is the person who designed the labyrinth for the Minotaur and the father of Icarus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus
But anyway thanks for the link, that site looks very interesting.

One of the founding fathers of devuan is an astronomer. All our releases are named after minor planets.

1+ for apod. Some of my favorite desktop backgrounds come from there.

I'm waiting for Devuan/Vesta... and then the "battle of Vesta" stories... >;-)

Roman goddess of fertility.. Greek -mythology- equivalent, would be goddess Demetra..
