Have you ever wanted to name a planet? Well now here is your chance! The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is running a competition to name an exoplanet - a planet around another star.
Some of the planets the IAU are seeking new names for are currently called HAT-P-12b or WASP-121b. That is because there are rules on naming things in space, and the IAU, which is the official international body of astronomy, has the authority to name objects in space.
