What are some interesting and/or exotic astronomy words? Or something having to do with planets, galaxies or stars? I'm trying to find a good name for a gamertag somewhere around those lines.

I guess one of the Kepler-planets are interesting. I think the one called Kepler 537 has the best potential for intelligent life. Im not sure about the number though. This planet is pretty similar to earth and is only 400 000000 lightyears away!

Chemistry is the best field for cool words.

Astronomy words are just Greek gods and latin shit like medicine.

From mythology: Vanth, a moon of (IIRC) a dwarf planet in our solar system.

There is no other thing in the solar system that has a name as cool and as badass as "Vanth". It might as well be Shadow the Hedgehog or COLD STEEL or somesuch.
