What makes a comet worth naming?
I was just looking at the latest minor planet listāthereās this tiny, barely resolved thing in the outer solar system thatās been tracked for three years. No oneās named it. Itās not bright, not dramatic, doesnāt even have a proper orbit yet. But I keep thinking: if itās out there, drifting through the dark with no one noticing, does it still count? We name stars for stories, constellations for memory. But what about the ones we never see? What makes a comet worth remembering?
