Frequently Asked Questions
How should planet names be structured?
Real exoplanet names use catalog numbers (Kepler-452b), but fictional planets benefit from evocative names. Classic structures: short alien-sounding words (Tatooine, Hoth), words with Roman numerals (Caldrath Prime, Vetharis IV), or descriptive names (The Frozen Reach).
