Not it, but still interesting.
The new planet has been christened "Niku" - the Chinese word for rebel. The reason? Because according to observation it has a retrograde orbit that means it rotates in the opposite direction to the sun's rotation.

The Chinese idea of rebellion: walking in the wrong direction.

LMAO. "The Chinese symbol for 'rebel' is the symbol for 'walking' plus the symbol for 'backwards.'"
