To gain extra credit, tell us something about the mythological significance of the person after whom it was named.
I am not absoluteley sure what "reddest" refers to - probably the relative strength of the red wavelengths in the reflection spectrum of the body. I take some artistic liberty here, not being a physicist.

I hope you're talking about Charon, because I can definitely deal with the mythological part. Charon was part of the ancient Greek underworld and ferried the souls of dead across the River Styx into Hades. He apparently needed a "toll" to do this, so they put coins in the mouthes of the dead before they were buried.
"ToSeeking" means posting something that has already been posted. ToSeek often posts interesting articles before anyone else has or has the chance to. So, when someone posts an article about something, they are often ToSeeked--it's already been discussed elsewhere.
