How to name the stars?

The name of an asteroid consists of two parts: the permanent number in front and the name in the back. Each confirmed asteroid will be given a permanent number first, and the discoverer can suggest a name for the asteroid. The name will not be officially adopted until it is approved by the International Astronomical Union.

If the asteroid's orbit can be determined accurately enough, its discovery will be confirmed. Until then, it will have a temporary number, which consists of the year of discovery and two letters, such as 2004 DW.

Extended data:

There are four common naming methods in ancient times:

The first is to observe the stars rising on the eastern horizon at the beginning of the night after dusk, which is called "fainting";

The second is to observe the stars in the southern sky at this time, which is called "fainting";

The third is to observe the stars rising on the eastern horizon before dawn, which is called "morning sight" or "morning sight";

The fourth is to observe the stars in the southern sky at this time, which is called "Zhong Dan".
