Name the ExoPlanets!ยก!

... and some Stars.

Groups, societies, organizations can propose names for thousands of new and old (yet unnamed) objects to the IAU. There's a separate call for proposals to name craters on Mercury.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that at least one Group will propose one of the planets around Epsilon Eridani be named "Vulcan"... in spite of the revisionist efforts of JJ Abrams.

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
