Getting to be quite a bunch.

Nawwwww, , LOL we are all alone, not even planets like ours out there.

We should all look up more ofetn, , , even durring the day.

My how the past names of so called science fall and the truth of discovery is made by the amatures most of the time in astronomy.

Hello All

What about red dwarf stars? Just info

The Hubble telescope has uncovered surprising evidence that powerful magnetic fields may exist around the lowest mass stars in the universe, which barely have enough nuclear fuel to burn as stars.

Hubble detected a high-temperature outburst, called a flare, on the surface of the extremely small, cool red dwarf star Van Biesbroeck 10, also known as Gliese 752B. Stellar flares are caused by intense, twisted magnetic fields that accelerate and contain gases that are much hotter than a star's surface. The illustration demonstrates the complex nature of this star.

If we are all alone than there is that much more to go around.

Hello All

To go around.

One of my mates paid money to have a star named after him. I wander what the aliens would think of that?


For avery person on this planet, you could probably give a galaxy.

And man wouldn't have any competition to colonise the whole universe?

[craterchains]

hmmmm, about 7 billion people on the planet to divide up about 400 billion galaxies, , , ,

Now what would you do with your 57 galaxies?

Go fishing,

[harry]

Hello creater chains

57 galaxies will not be enough .

I want it all.

When do I want it?

I want it now

Some said that.

It shows human territorial behaviour. A sickness of man's history.

Its part of our evolution.

I found another list I like a little better! It looks as though planets around stars is the norm. Probably leftover residue from the star forming process.

Not even astronomers on Earth will care, let alone aliens. These naming organizations open to the public have no official value in what so ever; the new names never enter scientific catalogs. Outside the company's internal lists no one acknowledges these names.

As long as people realize this and are just having a bit of fun, I say, no harm no foul. You get a piece of paper with the name you've given your object. However, if companies are convincing people that they are "officially" naming objects, I call it a scam.
