NASA asked Twitter to name 7 newly discovered planets.
(Very sorry if repost, I haven't seen this on Imgur yet so let me know!)

That was the point.

It should be Martell not Targaryen
ImNotReallyIntoPokemon
The sun can be Targaryen.
AreYouWannaDie
Also Arryn not Greyjoy, but no one remembers the Vale :(
SnarkyScience
Arryn not Tully, actually. Riverlands were only added after Greyjoy rebellions.
CertifiedAgreer
No they were a kingdom since the Justmans I believe
SnarkyScience
I believe they were ruled as part of the Kingdom of Isles and Rivers, ruled by House Hoare of the Iron Islands, before the Greyjoys.
CertifiedAgreer
I just checked twoiaf says the first andal king to 'bring all the riverlands under his sway' was benedict. You could even consider the 1/2
LlamaLingo
Why?
AreYouWannaDie
Cause it's the great houses of each of the 7 kingdoms, Targaryens are the rulers of all 7 so they don't fit.
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
It can be the star.
DukeDardar
Exactly. Targaryen would have to be in another system.
MrRandom314159
Actually, I don't know about Tully, they never held a crown. I thought they were normally bannermen of the Baratheons.
SnarkyScience
Not the Baratheons. They were part of Kingdom of Isles and Rivers, which eventually just became the Iron Islands (Greyjoys).
RagnarTheProp
True but they control the lands of the Mudd Kings and the Riverlands is considered one of the seven kingdoms
SorryBuddy
Riverlands actually wasn't. It was owned by the Iron Isles before the Targaryens showed up. It only became its own region afterwards.
RagnarTheProp
There were the river kings prior to the conquest

Fun fact, weekday names were associated with the seven non-star* celestial bodies (sun, moon, mars, mercury, jupiter, venus, saturn)
cousteau
Notice "Saturnday, Sunday, Moonday" still match. (Also yeah, now we know the Sun *is* a star)
OopsImAPumpkin
Why not after the Egyptian God's? Amun, Anubis, Horus, Isis, Bastet, Nephthys, Osiris
wearekj21
and rename the star Khepri
TheJazzGhost
It's a good idea, but I would be very surprised if at least one of those names haven't already been used for other celestial bodies.
Cicilla
I think Osiris is a star somewhere
HeyItsHerrTrigger
It is.

Do you want Goa'ld? Because this is how you get Goa'uld.

Norse realms (Asgard, Midgard, Niflheim, Jotunheim, etc) and name the star Yggdrasil. The two realms that don't get a planet can get moons.

Or name the star Muspelheim (the fiery place). Midgard is already taken because that's us. 7+1+1 = all nine realms.

Endor is a moon as well.

A forest moon none the less.

Endor is a gas giant, The Forest Moon of Endor is a moon.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
I'd scratch Dagobah and Hoth, since neither are important beyond footnotes in the history of the rebellion. Go with Mon Cala and Corellia.
LordIggy
Have they flip flopped again on whether or not it's called 'Dac'?
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
Nah, I just (incorrectly) call it Mon Cala because that's how I first heard it. It's proper name is still Dac
LordIggy

It took me so long to find out that the "weird amount of craft beer posts" I'd been seeing were related to the new planets.
DukeDarkwood
Actually, I was gonna go with the von Trapp children. There are seven! Only question becomes, do we go with the real or film set of names?
DukeDarkwood
Real: Rupert, Agathe, Maria, Werner, Hedwig, Johanna, Martina.
DukeDarkwood
Film: Friedrich, Liesl, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta, Gretl.
myfoodisproblematic
It bothers me that these aren't in age order. I also wonder why they changed the names for the movie.
DukeDarkwood
The real ones are in age order, and these are listed to match the order of the others. Is the age order somehow different in the film!?
myfoodisproblematic
Only the oldest 2 are switched. I guess so liesel could have her love story without it being too creepy
JustAnotherBelgian
As a belgian, I agree: Orval, Westmalle, Rochefort, Achelle, westvleteren, trappe and Chimay should be the names (trappist biers)

Technically, it was our university in liège that found it :)

I think he was thanking you for including Trappe even though we didn't do anything in finding these.

I was citing them from the top of my head, didn't know they did a trappist in the US TMYK
YoScott
Spencer beer is nowhere close to the quality of the big Trappists listed above.

Why the downvotes? It's true...

yay la trappe! so good. better stuff than achel and orval imho.
Fatchouz
Better stuff than Orval ?! I died a little inside...

Lol srry! I <3 orval too. I don't mean there's a "better" belgian pale. But I just prefer la trappe's solid offerings across a variety.

Ah, thank you! Never played the game, so I missed the reference.

We need to find 7 more planets for them.
KingNyuels
Challenger was a NASA mission. These planets were discovered by ESA, so I would like something more Europe/ESA-related.

But America is great again!

We are talking about planets outside of our solar system, planets that might one day save human race, don't cling to geopolitical divisions.

Its going to be like the age of colonisation all over again.

Why is NASA asking for the name suggestions on twitter then? Not the ESA?

Because international cooperation is a thing, and NASA has a larger presence in the US.

I can't find anything that states ESA found them. Did I miss something? Everything online says NASA.
KingNyuels
Astronomers at ESO found the first 3 planets ( http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1615/ ) - afterwards they asked NASA to use "Spitzer"
KingNyuels
the resulting data was evaluated by ESA. As NASA itself states "NASA Telescope discoveres ..." - article in French:
RomanadvoratrelundarTimeLord
I see, thanks. I couldn't find a clear answer after searching online.
KahSeven
Lovely, sensible idea but not sure they make for good planet names: Smith, Scobee, McNair, Onizuka, McAuliffe, Jarvis, Resnik.
sulfuratus
Jarvis actually sounds pretty good
GH05TY
We already have town names like that, why not planets? (Also, they all have asteroids named after them already.)

Those are perfect planet names. I would only change Smith to Smith's Planet.

Aside from Smith I see no problem with those planet names.

We named our planet "Dirt", why wouldn't any of those be good planet names? :)
CziltangBrone
When we get out in space, and start talking to other races, I vote we NOT admit we named home "dirt"... let's call it Gaia instead. M'kay?

We named dirt after our planet. Also we're known as Terra in the Sol System.

Well, there's always their standard name, so you could say Trappist-1b instead of Smith. Or maybe they'll get nicknames.

It'd be great if there was a gaseous planet. "Andre the Gas Giant"
VitusApollo
Gotta give it to the largest planet of the 7 so people still refer to it as Andre the Giant.
EvenSpeedwagon
Collosus of Rhodes tho. . .
parastratiosphecomyiasphecomyioides
But then you'll have a planet called the Great Wall of China.
GwenShepard1
not if you choose from the original ones
parastratiosphecomyiasphecomyioides
So then you'll have a planet called the mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the great pyramid of Giza.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
Or name it after some bad ass ships from sci fi novels and movies.
Soylencer
Millennium, Freelancer, Serenity, Enterprise, Nebuchadnezzar, Normandy, Mega Maid?
LokiKingOfJotunheim
We could name the least desirable one Miranda...
InterfaceLoading
So either: Giza, Babylon, Olympia, Ephesus, Halicarnassus, Rhodes, Alexandria, or: (1/2)
InterfaceLoading
Agra, Petra, Changcheng, Corcovado, Cusco, Tinum and Roma.

johnnydarkko
nice, now we got 30 more planets
didgythebat
Someone suggested naming them after the Challenger astronauts. That was my personal favorite.
TheSubterrelProspector
It's a nice gesture but the names aren't epic enough.
Appleith
Giza, Babylon, Artemis, Zeus, Halicarnassus, Colossus, and Alexandria?
ChestyNuttFlaps
Sounds fucking badass

But most of these are already in use.

Love this idea. I'd love to be an Artemisian.

Or the 7 most popular Belgian beers. After all, the system name is Trappist and those guys make great beer.
ZRod
That's the first thing I thought of when I read Trappist as well.
thegreatfrenchcheeses
So... Jupiler, Stella, Delirium, Bacchus, Leffe, Orval & Duvel
WelgianBaffles
Orval, West-vletteren, Westmalle, Rochefort, Chimay, Achel en dan nog een zevende want we hebben maar zes trappisten damnit
thegreatfrenchcheeses
Jama die namen zijn ni epic genoeg! Wel goegaan op West-Vleteren als planeet ahaha
SergeantFiddler
You lost me about half way
WelgianBaffles
I was summing up all Belgian trappist beers. Than said we needed a seventh one because there are only 6 Belgian trappists. Damnit.
Andromedator
I was thinking of naming them days if the week or colors of the rainbow :/
AwkwardLee
I will not live on Monday aka the blue planet.
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
but many days of the week are already names of planets! and they change depending on language.
InglouriousTarantino
Neil DeGrasse Tyson suggested we name them after the seven dwarves, since the sun is a dwarf star. I kinda like that idea too.
Mcshmile
I don't want to live on planet sneezy
votfgz
Seven Fathers of the Dwarves would be an interesting idea, but I believe only Durin's name is given.
chiefs86
Durin I, Durin II, Durin III, Durin IV, Durin V, Durin VI (bonus moon: Durin's Bane), and Durin the Last IMO
StandardDeviant
But what if the colonies rebel? "Breaking news: the Sneezians are rioting outside the earth embassy, reinforcements have been sent from Doc"
InglouriousTarantino
This is all assuming we are ever going to be able to colonize these planets.
superbest
Sounds like a futurama episode
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
Nobody would take Dopey seriously.
StandardDeviant
Or anyone born on Dopey, since they would be called Dopians
pyronoia
And that would be their undoing...
ScotchnCigars
Or the ancient wonders. How badass would a planet be if it's name was Collosus of Rhodes?
FsImgur
Biggus Dickus?
ScotchnCigars
Similarly, Halicarnassus has a sinister sound to it too.
a4tsyus34name
Halicarnassus sounds like a fake planet from Star Wars that was used for some Death Star-esque weapon
DamnItTrudyWhatAboutThePineapple
As someone from Rhodes... Yes, please?
Calmeister
Wow those names sounds so Battlestar-ish like we are basically retconning the 12 colonies into 7 planets.
johnsza
The hanging gardens isn't nearly as intimidating.
ScotchnCigars
Or they could act on the word hanging and make it terrifying....
johnsza
There we go. The hanging gardens of Mississippi?
NotACanadian
Giza, Babylon, Olympia, Ephesus, Halicarnassus, Rhodes, Alexandria?
MrMaRzZ
You forgot op's mom
MinisterKai

MrsNinja
Petra?

Athena, Vesta, Odin, Osiris, Shiva, Ishtar, Gavri'el.. Greek, Roman, Norse, Egypt, Hindu, Ancient Assyria, Biblical Hebrew.

Awesome. I'd live on any one of those planets
Dreamdayer
If Olympia has moons I vote we name them Titania & Britannia - Olympic & Britannic were the sister ships of the Titanic.
AmurTiger
I'd rather not mix up references. Olympia related things should be related to the ancient city.
OnyZ
Add a 'New' in front of each and we good.

Better than Pyramid, Garden, Statue, Temple, Mausoleum, Colossus, Library.
downofathistle
Nah I prefer your one.
BurningDownTheHouse
Living on planet colossus does sound hella badass though
everythingisalieexceptthestuffthatisnt
Lighthouse*. Library is not a great wonder, just a well remembered library
SnarkyScience
I stand corrected.
everythingisalieexceptthestuffthatisnt
tbf, it probably should have been, considering how we all still know what it was.
TheJazzGhost
I love it. This is the one.
HoganScienceFair
Wait...if aliens did help build some wonders of the world wouldn't naming potential colonies just be playing right into their hands?
nuplsstahp
If we figure out interplanetary travel in the future, people can say cool shit like "I'm going to planet Olympia"

Pretty sure the system with Olympia is owned by the Iron Warriors not the World Eaters...

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE.
isaydefy
That's my personal favorite idea. Although the deadly sins also appeal to me. It would be badass. "Where do you live?" "Oh I'm on wrath."

You know we'd all be on Sloth and Gluttony.
PizzaSlutForever
I'm moving to Gluttony, South of Sloth.

I hate to sound like a bore but I feel like this is something you shouldn't have connotation for any religion.
Hayashima
Uhhh... Not to ruin your day or anything, but the planets in our solar system are named after ancient Roman gods.
HesGotTwoFirstNames
Except for Earth. Earth means dirt.
Mushroombadger
I'm well aware of that. It's kind of different than us just picking a religion in our modern secular society and naming things after that.
LocoLatino69
I don't understand, explain how it's different?
LePiggy
I think the seven deadly sins are universal as a concept, no longer really hitched to religon
