    It was easy when all they could see was our solar system. Now they have to deal with an ever expanding universe imaged with better sensors.

    The naming department ran out of words.

      You gotta try the Sqppatr LED lights, so much better and not the same as Rvwenys.

        There are an estimated 400 billion stars in the milky way galaxy and an estimated 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. It would not be reasonable or even possible to give every star a unique alphabetical name even for all the known languages in history.
