Pluto and Charon
“Kiss and Capture”: The Icy Collision That Bound Pluto and Charon Forever (via. SciTechDaily)
The themes of space are heavily used throughout the series, hence the name Pluto.
EP.12 is titled You’re My Charon. The name of the book Ai-Oon wrote about their love story which she dedicated to May.
Ai-Oon tells May about the relationship between Pluto and Charon, and compares it to their own relationship.
Charon is the largest of Pluto's five moons. The same surfaces of Charon and Pluto always face each other, a phenomenon called mutual tidal locking. Charon orbits Pluto every 6.4 Earth days. Charon neither rises nor sets, but hovers over the same spot on Pluto's surface, and the same side of Charon always faces Pluto. (via. NASA)
A new theory suggests that, billions of years ago, Pluto and Charon collided in the far reaches of the outer solar system. Rather than obliterating each other, the two bodies joined together in a spinning snowman shape (the kiss) for 10 to 15 hours before separating—but ultimately, they remained trapped in each other’s orbits (the capture). (via. Margherita Bassi)
Ai-Oon and May are Pluto and Charon. Destined to be in each other’s orbit forever.
An interesting detail:
This photo of Pluto and Charon was taken on July 8th, 2015. Ai-Oon was born on July 8th, 1998. This day is also the mid point between Namtan (01/07/1996) and Film’s (14/07/2000) birthdays.
