I once again would like to thank every single one of you who has signed and shared this petition! It warms my heart to see how many people are coming together in remembrance of SOPHIE. She may be gone, but her influence will live on through us!

It has come to my attention that the IAU (International Astronomical Union) would be the ones to give the planet its proper common name. As such, the petition has been updated and is now directed at them as well.
