At last, people whose birth really was influenced by the movement of the planets

After joining the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in 1977, Dr Spilker worked on the Voyager missions to the outer Solar System.

She describes herself as a “Voyager mom”.

“My two children were born, very strategically, in a window on Voyager between the Saturn and Uranus flybys, because there were five years between them.”

1. What are her kids' names?

Dr. Spilker doesn't mention her kids' names in the article. Here are my guesses:

1. Cassini and Huygens
2. V'ger 1 and V'ger 2
3. Rhea and Phoebe (if they're girls)
4. Pan and Pandora (if they're a boy and a girl)
5. Janus and Prometheus (if they're boys)

Also, were the kids conceived during a saturnalia? Those astrophysicists can be a wild bunch, ya know.

2. Ahaha now that's funny.

Smart woman. (Naturally!)
