Thank you Scott, I'm an amateur astronomer and got confused with a lot of the weird names that I didn't know meant something. I knew that lots of them they ran out of letters for but never knew what catalog they were from and what they meant. I know of NGC but never realized what LTT and the like meant or what it was from. I thought it was from a satellite I never heard of. Very appreciated video.

Simple solution, you give each star a double pokemon name. So the first one is bulbasaur-bulbasaur, then bulbasaur-ivysaur, and you keep counting up. There's over 700 pokemon at the moment, so even with just 2 "digits" we would have enough names for 500,000 stars. Then, a couple of year after this has been adopted as a universal standard, a new wave of pokemon is introduced, bringing the total up to 860. This creates a huge rift in the astronomical community, with half wanting to rewrite the catalog to include the new pokemon (so the naming would go 860 x 860) while the other half wants to just tack on the new pokemon at the end, because they are not considered legitimate enough to be used in star-naming.

Great job Scott, I knew up to some point where all those names came from but I had no idea of why those names were used in that way. So there is always a meaning for each one of them which makes it more interesting. (also for explorers that are looking for something in particular this can be more helpful than you may think) Thank you very much for this video. ;)

Great vid. One small point - Achernar (Achenar ingame) when pronounced "traditionally" (emulating the Arabic name) is Ak-an-nar, not Ash-an-nar. It's the Arabic letter ـخـ (khah, here shown in the medial form of cursive script), IPA pronunciation /x/, effectively a "hard (kicking) K" Pronouncing it as "Akenar" with the initial A as in "cat" in Scots or English is close enough ;)

It's really nice video that explains quite a lot from a person who obviously knows what he's talking about. Also, the amount of work FD've done on this is amazing and we can only applause them for that. The only thing that's quite strange to me for example to have planet names like LHS 256 C-1. Just imagine a system with few billion people living on it and there's a habitable planet named like that. Seems strange isn't it? :) Hopefully Frontier will come up with solution for playerbase, for example, to rename a bunch of planets in human space based on a common sense, not on a catalog names. It might be problematic for systems with a lot of planets in it, however I really doubt the people of the future wouldn't care that much about the planets in the system they live in.

This is a really cool video. So, the stars that have "actual" names are generally named if humans settled around them - so I'm assuming Frontier just took pre-existing stars, dropped the proper names, and added the "new" name? (Which makes sense if we get to the point where humanity starts colonizing stars, we'd probably want to rename the ones we were orbiting.)

On a more serious note, I remember reading that the IAU recently accepted a bunch of new exo-planet names, and with them came some new star names. Here's one of the articles mentioning it. www.cbc.ca/news/technology/exoplanet-iau-1.3366561 I'm curious to hear your opinion on it, since the IAU is usually quite strict in terms of not accepting star names from the public (or at least that's the impression I've always had on the matter).

You forgot to mention star names from original 1984 Elite procedure generated galaxy, like Lave, Diso, Reorte, Zaonce, Tionisla, Riedquat, Leesti etc. Those were randomly generated from set of two-letter syllables. There are, also, stars named/renamed after new lore, like Colonia, and, probably, well-known Shinrarta Dezhra.

@Nerdule
@Nerdule 9 жыл бұрын
+chickenman297 We don't really know that. Sure, hot, close-in Jupiters seem to be really common - but we also know that our detection techniques are strongly biased towards finding hot, close-in Jupiters. (Large, close planets both block more light during transits and have a stronger gravitational pull on their star so the Doppler wobble is stronger, and close planets have a shorter period so they're easier to find.) It's extremely difficult to separate this bias from the actual distribution of solar systems, so we really aren't sure how rare systems like our own actually are. We actually cannot detect planets like our Jupiter with current methods - since it takes Jupiter 11 years to go around the Sun once, and we need to observe three transits to be certain it's not a fluke, we'd have to watch the Sun for more than 33 years to identify that Jupiter existed, and we simply haven't been looking that long!

I wonder why that is... .oO(Maybe no one wants to be the one being blamed for giving a bad name to something that important?

Unless I'm mistaken, you forgot to mention the Gliese star list, also from an exoplanet survey.

I did mention at least one Gliese object.... Unless that bit of video never made it into the final video. I spent about 4 hours working on this.

0:44 SOL is a real star name, but you pronounce it wrong (it's basicly the danish word for sun)

+Thorbjørn Christensen Sol is also the Latin name for the Sun which I think is where they get it from.

Wyrmlingbait might be so, my comment was mostly aimed at him saying "sol" is not the name of the sun, when the word is in use for that exact purpose today (yes i know, he cac't know all the languages)

I predict that in the future stars will have the acronyms FaCG and FaM after them. From a Computer Game, From a Movie. With billions of stars out there we'll start naming them from media :)
