'adopt-an-alien-planet' campaign.


Recommended Posts

a scheme launched today invites members of the public to suggest names (for a small fee of course...) for the hundreds of exoplanets that have been found.

all proceeds will go towards funding space research.

for a little lightheartedness, what name would YOU choose....?

Gallifrey and, in the interests of balance, Skaro.

I should imagine both of those would be forerunners! along with krypton, and my personal choice, LV426.

I like "Segan" :tu:

I was thinking along those lines too donteatus, 'sagania' or 'mooreopia' (in honour of the late, great Sir Patrick)

I've always been partial to naming something it's absurd opposite. Like if it were a tropical planet like the Bahamas I'd name the planet Holocaust or something, maybe Frigid Hell Sphere. :lol:

When my daughter was younger I helped her name a pet hamster Mauler. :D

What if they discovered an exoplanet and called it Obama. it turned out there were primates that had Obama's face. That would be funny.

Well, it says a lot for you when you think calling someone a homosexual is an insult. Well done, good sir. You continue to bolster your already fine standing on this forum with posts like this.

I think it would be awesome if an exoplanet was named after a planet from H2GT2G. They should totally do that.

Agreed. He does a great job of sucking all the fun out of an light hearted topic.
