New Zealand to name a Planet!

New Zealand, along with every other country, is being given an opportunity to come up with a name for an exoplanet - a planet outside our solar system - and its host star.

It's scientific name is HD21749 and the star is HD21749C.

If you could name the exoplanet, what would you name it?

    Hi room 24, I would call HD21749 Mataora because it is the maori word for life, and I would call HD21749C pūmāhu haurehu because it is maori for hot gas.

    see you around

    Wow - lots of great thinking Room 24. I found this really challenging - naming a planet is a massive responsibility! Sorry, no good ideas from me this time.
