: Re: Any tip on naming a star, planet, geographical features and other non-living things? I was wondering if "Spear" or "The Spear" could be the name of a planet. But I can't find a single reason

Remember there is an infinite number of galaxies. And in each a nearly infinite number of star systems, each with many stars and that many more planets.

There are many many possible ways to do it...

Off the top of my head... you could divide the milky way into zones (the thing is about 100,000 light years across) 360 degrees on the XY plane, 360 on the YZ plane
050-072-503-E67X-5512k

50 degree the XY plane

72 degree on the YZ plane

503 between 503000 and 504000 light years from the center.

E67X System identifier

5512k stars-planet-moon..

My point is.. given the infinite cosmos... Earthlings would only name a planet if there is any significance at all to them. I would imagine the same would go for other spacefaring species.
