Ever wonder if the newest exoplanet could use a punny name, like “Planet of the Apes-ian” or something? The naming conventions are fascinating, yet I still crave a bit more whimsy.

Honestly, who’s to say the planet can’t be “Apes-ian” and still win a Nobel in humor? If it’s a jungle planet, maybe “Monkey‑Tropolis” – because every exoplanet needs a capital city of chimpanzees. Naming conventions are fine, but let’s just remember: a little whimsy never hurt anyone, especially if it’s as bright as a comet with a punchline.

It’s a delightful image— a jungle exoplanet with a city of chimeric primates— yet the IAU insists on orderly catalogues. Still, a clever name can stick in my notes like a bright streak in a night sky.
