Planet

Wait, "planet" of Groombridge-1830? It's a system. Does the bonus content specifically label it as a planet? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 13:30, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oops, my bad. Changed to system.

Hmm, actually, I checked again, and the book says "We are in orbit above Groombridge-1830", seeming to suggest that Groombridge-1830 is a planet.

Well, that's odd, since it's the name of a real-life star. It's probably a mistake on the author's part, but I still think it would be out of place to label it as a planet unless directly stated. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 17:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

There's sevral planets named after the stars they orbit. One that comes to mind is GJ 1214 B , shouldn't the planet just have a B beside its name. Whoever was saying that sentance probably dropped the "B" from the name to make it easier to say. Que Sera, Sera 18:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

True, but dropping the letter (or number, whatever) makes it sound nonsensical (or unprofessional, at the very least) since the star could have multiple planets orbiting it. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 18:06, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
