Many of the recent discoveries by the Hubble Space Telescope have been "named" with numbers. Gone are the poetic, mythic names like Milky Way or Andromeda or Pegasus.
Let's have some fun and help NASA out and create names for these awesome celestial objects.
We'll select your best submissions and send them off to NASA headquarters.
