Name origin?[edit]

Apparently "albedo" is a scientific term, specifically meaning the amount of solar heat deflected by a planet's atmosphere and biosphere. Being that this is a sci-fi comic, it seems reasonable to assume that's where the name came from, but the only way I can think of to keep it from sounding like a non sequitur would be to toss it up as a "Did you know?" paragraph. I admit other that being a science word I don't see any connection. (But then, I haven't read the comics either.)

Just got off the phone with Steve[edit]

The name "Albedo" does indeed come from the scientific name. A word play on the concept of Reflection. In his own words, "Trying to be clever and all, y'know?"

...the cleverness being that the stories were supposed "reflect" real world social and political issues. --Sebkha(talk) 11:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
