We all know that Albedo's name could be derived from the source of Alchemy terms, such as Albedo - The Whitening
Rubedo - The Redening
Nigredo - The Blackening
Citrine - The yellowing

However upon recent studies within my Earth/Space Science class I have stumbled upon 'Albedo' with another term possibly from where his name, and other URTV's names are derived from.

-A portion of my notes taken in class-

The Moon

Unique because it is so big for the Earth and is far from the Earth.
The moon reflects very little light (Albedo)

- End portion -

Within the game Albedo sort of reflects upon that definition of 'Reflecting very little light' If so then the URTV's that we know by name are indeed not only named after the Alchemic Terms, but also the Outer Space Definitions.

Isn't psychology and science fascinating?

This is why I love Xenosaga SO MUCH! Everything there is from philosophy, science, theology, or something else. And when you find the meaning of the term you learn more about the Xenosaga story.

I love how everything is so linguistic.
The whole Peche thing.
"Momo" means peach, "peche" means "peach",and also "sin"
EDIT
I knew this before I even read the Database...
lol
