Rheas
are large flightless birds native to South America.
The name was given in 1752 by Paul Mohring; his reason for
choosing this name, from classical mythology, is not known.
Rheas
are omnivorous, preferring broad-leafed plants, but also eating
seeds, roots, fruit, insects, and small vertebrates.

Rhea
is the second-largest moon of Saturn and the ninth largest moon
in the Solar System. It was discovered in 1672 by Giovanni
Domenico Cassini.

Rhea
is named after the Titan Rhea of Greek mythology, "mother of
the gods". It is also designated Saturn V (being the fifth
major moon going outward from the planet).
Cassini
named the four moons he discovered (Tethys, Dione, Rhea and
Iapetus) Sidera Lodoicea (the stars of Louis) to honor King Louis
XIV. Astronomers fell into the habit of referring to them and
Titan as Saturn I through Saturn V. Once Mimas and Enceladus were
discovered, in 1789, the numbering scheme was extended to Saturn
VII.
The
names of all seven satellites of Saturn then known come from John
Herschel (son of William Herschel, discoverer of the planet
Uranus, and two other Cronian moons, Mimas and Enceladus) in his
1847 publication Results of Astronomical Observations made at the
Cape of Good Hope, wherein he suggested the names of the Titans,
sisters and brothers of Cronos (Saturn, in Roman mythology), be
used.
