Celestial and Star-themed town names?

Oh my god, okay, while we're on the topic of space themed towns, you have GOT to check out this AMAZING town this kid I know runs, he has a blog for it, it is the coolest thing I've ever seen

Fishburg
D.A.: 4600-4718-6634
http://terraformacnl.tumblr.com/

Basically like, his mayor is an astronaut who has founded this new colony "Fishburg" on an alien planet (the town), and all the residents are trying to make their lives there because, space, and like, his entire town looks like an alien planet because of his paths and QR codes and like, he didn't hack any of it but it looks so cool

I nerd out about this town because it's what I dreamed my town of Nowhere would be, he runs this blog entirely in character and has this massive storyline about the progress of terraforming Fishburg (which, terraforming is where you take an inhospitable planet and make it liveable, like what we'll someday do with Mars, that kind of thing)

I don't want to steal your thunder here I just wanted to share because I think it's the COOLEST THING and I think you'd enjoy visiting it because it's totally neat, especially if you like space! ! ! ! !!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much!
This is LITERALLY the most creative and most awesome thing EVER *^*
I am definetely into astrology/space, and anything celestial or to do with the heavens.
Thank you so much! ! !
 
I voted for Polaris, I think Cometia sounds cool too

for an original sugestion, I'll put up Io? (that's i-o, not an L) Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system, and is a moon of Jupiter. The moons of Jupiter are all really cool though, Enceladus, Titan, and Gandymeade all probably have oceans under their crust so there's a possibility of habitation there and that's. Freaking phenomenal.

My favorite space word in the galaxy however, is Philae.

Actually a misconception. Polaris is the 46th or 48th brightest. Its more notable because of its use as a guide north. This is because Polaris is practically pointed at the axis of the earth, it also doesn't rise or set, like the other stars that circle around us. It's actually a multi-star. Comprised of a supergiant and 2 smaller stars. The brightest star/system in the night sky is Sirius. Its actually one of the closest system to ours, and it's constantly moving closer.

Sorry... I just really love astronomy. ;w;

Astrology is horoscopes and the pseudoscientific divination of the stars that consist of select systems. Did you mean astronomy?

Stella (It means star in Latin)
Sidus (constellation in Latin)
LunaSol (MoonSun in spanish)


Also looking up star names in the wikipedia could spark some interest c:
 
Meteorite? (dunno whether that's too long haha! I took astronomy for my gcse's and I am currently clueless of what there is! Haha)

Altaira- Brightest star in Aquilia so two there ;)
Lyra, talitha, carina, mimosa

probably too late but meh
 
Six votes for Polaris, one for Capella, and two for Cometia! PLEASE VOTE ON THE POLL ON PAGE 2! THANK YOU!!
 
I voted for Polaris, but if you want more suggestions, I named my second town Starpass and it is astronomy/modern-themed. Probably not the greatest name, but it does give a little implication :)
 
Andromeda is the Largest Galaxy in our local Cluster of Galaxies~, it's also going to fuse with the Milky Way in 1-2 Billion Years!
