Any clue on the planets and moons mentioned in Astronomy Domine ?

Post by Aloisio »

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has any clue on the reason for the sequence of planets and moons in AD. On the astronomical side it starts like the sequence as if someone was leaving the solar system. Jupiter, Saturn, Oberon, Miranda, Titania (three are moons of Uranus) and Neptune. And then he returns to Titan (moon of Saturn). Maybe some mythological or shakesperean explanation or is it just gibberish ?

Probably just liked the rhythm and the rhyme.
