It is estimated there are 160 billion planets populating our galaxy, so why not name one collectSPACE? That’s more or less the idea behind a new website from the space startup Uwingu (pronounced “oo-wing-oo”), which gives anyone with an extra 99 cents the chance to nominate or vote for a potential name for an extrasolar planet. The leading 1,000 names will be shared with planet hunters for consideration and the proceeds will go to funding space exploration, research and education.
collectSPACE features daily entries about space exploration history, plus news and information about space artifact exhibits.”
