Amazing video. I especially like the world play here. Latin Planetes (as in planets) means wanderer. The name of this film can be understood as Planets.

- tomr_stargazer 12y agoAncient Greek actually – apologies for being nitpicky. 'A planet (from Ancient Greek ἀστὴρ πλανήτης (astēr planētēs), meaning "wandering star")' > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet
- Ygg2 12y agoYeah, but judging from Google's etymology of the word it seemed to suggest plananan as greek word for planet, and not planetes. I went for the more similar sounding one.
- mturmon 12y agoNice observation. They got that name, of course, because the stars are fixed but the planets "wander" among them.
