Name an exoplanet discovered by the James Webb.

You cannot buy an exoplanet as some claim, that has no scientific or legal validity, naming one is also very difficult, you must have discovered it and also go through the approval of the international astronomical union, but now the astronomical union international opens a new possibility for the whole world to propose names for 20 exoplanetary systems that will also be studied in detail by the james webb space telescope.


It is not the first contest of this type, the previous ones were in 2015 and 2019 and more than 780 thousand people participated; and you will wonder how to participate this year, because first they ask to create a team that brings together either enthusiastic students and teachers of astronomy or amateur astronomers and professional astronomers.


Second; carry out an astronomical outreach event related to exoplanets, it can be an exhibition on exo planets, a talk on astronomy topics, etc.

Third; choose a system from the 20 in the list, I show you the image above.


Fourth; logically propose a name for the exo planet, in their language and providing a context, either a name of a god, or a name linked to a cultural activity and an explanation of why that name.


Fifth; register your team and submit your proposal.


The link to the contest rules and the form to name an exoplanet can be found in the publication sources.


But I'll mention it beforehand, in the international astronomical union they are very picky about names, I'll tell you about the characteristics that names should have; at most 26 characters long, must be pronounceable and non-offensive; Imagine that it is inhabited.


Also that it is similar to an object that already exists, and of course you cannot name pets, or companies, commercial activities, or political parties, or current military and religious.

The immensity of the universe is insane and I am amazed at how something new is discovered every day.
Interesting to know that following some rules I could name something that is so far away.
Thanks for sharing.
