How to buy the naming rights of stars?

The naming right of asteroids belongs to the discoverer. In the early days, I liked to use the name of the goddess, and later I used abbreviations of people's names, place names, flower names and even organization names. Some asteroids and asteroids are particularly famous, such as Toroyan Group, Apollo Group, Icarus, eros, Kildargo and so on.

The first asteroid was discovered by Piazi in Sicily in 180 1 and it was named Ferdinand, the god of the valley. The first part is named after the valley of the patron saint of Sicily, and the second part is named after ferdinand iv, king of Naples. However, international scholars are not satisfied with this, so the second part is deleted. Therefore, the official name of the first asteroid is asteroid 1 ceres.

Since then, according to this tradition, the discovered asteroids have been named after Roman or Greek gods, such as Pallas Athena, Vesta and Yi Shen. But as more and more asteroids were discovered, the names of classical gods were finally used up. Therefore, asteroids were later named after the discoverer's wife, historical figures or other important figures, cities, fairy tales or other mythical gods.

Extended data:

The name of an asteroid consists of two parts: the permanent number in front and the name in the back. Each confirmed asteroid will be given a permanent number first, and the discoverer can suggest a name for the asteroid. The name will not be officially adopted until it is approved by the International Astronomical Union.

If the asteroid's orbit can be determined accurately enough, its discovery will be confirmed. Until then, it will have a temporary number, which consists of the year of discovery and two letters, such as 2004 DW.
