So let's say you discover it, because then you get to name it, which name would you give it?
I think I would name it Jesus. I would do it in order to interest Christians more in astronomy and science and if there were moons discovered around it they could be named for apostles, because that would even more fuel their interest. Books would be written about it because Christians would be interested to know more about this planet and at the same time books would teach them a lot about astronomy and science in general. Knowing their mentality they would create all sorts of legends about it, like some would think you go there after you die; some would get the impression that Jesus lives there now; some would perhaps dream of having a pilgrimage there and so on. So perhaps there would be a boom of space exploration.
What do you think?
Not appropriate. Unlike Jesus, if this planet existed, then it will come again.
