Seven dwarves. Seven newly-found planets. Its a perfect fit.
Following the exciting announcement on Wednesday that scientists had discovered a record-breaking seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a distant star, people have taken to Twitter to suggest new names for the exoplanets.
And yes, naming them after the seven dwarves Dopey, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy and Doc has been suggested more than once. That idea makes good thematic sense, because the sun that the planets orbit is actually a very common one called a dwarf star.
There's even been a suggestion that the seven planets be named after the seven astronauts who died in the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
