NASA Asks for Help Naming New Planets, Twitter Goes Crazy
It's not every day that seven new planets are discovered, and NASA needs our help naming them! Actually some of the suggestions already coming through are quite hilarious, and yes, awesome.
And here's a little more info about the new planets - they are orbiting a star 40 light years away, and are pretty much the same shape as Earth. Right now they are just being called 'Trappist 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7'. Fascinating!
Here's the original tweet from NASA, and the suggestions follow.
And a suggestion from your Classic Country Saturday Night Host Dave Steele:
- Greg
- Marcia
- Peter
- Jan
- Bobby
- Cindy
- Alice
