  • Naming Planets: Understanding the IAU's Rules
    No. The naming of celestial bodies, including planets, is governed by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). According to the IAU guidelines, celestial objects do not have names that are bought, sold, or chosen through popular votes. The IAU is responsible for designating official names to celestial bodies in a scientifically meaningful and systematic manner.
