The IAU has assign South Africa, a planet currently called WASP 62 b and a star called WASP 62, we are appealing to individuals and groups ( such as schools, clubs , organizations etc) to suggest names for the planet and the star and also supply a motivation not exceeding 100 words.

The proposers of the top 6 names will either win a fully paid trip to Sutherland (for individuals) or a 6 inch Dobsonian Telescope and books (for group eg a school or a club)
