The International Astronomical Union (IAU) invites you to help name an exoplanet and its star. In recognition of its 100th year, the IAU now offers every country the chance to name one planetary system. HD 17156, in the constellation Cassiopeia, is the chosen system for the United States. What do you think it should be called?

The US Exoplanet Naming Campaign will be open from September 15 – October 15, 2019. Visit the official announcement for participation details: https://www.fi.edu/blog/you-could-name-an-exoplanet
