The International Astronomical Union asked that Canadians propose new names for the star HD 136418 and its exoplanet HD 136418b. They received over 500 suggestions!
Star: Nikawiy
Exoplanet: Awasis
Description: Nikâwiy and Awâsis are the words for “mother” and “child” in the Cree language. The planet orbits its mother, always together and looking for her light.
Proposed by: Amanda Green (Alberta) and Wilfred Buck (Manitoba)
