NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) spacecraft discovered a comet back in March - and named it after itself.
And researchers have discovered a pair of so-called "Super-Earths" in the "Goldilocks Zone." Super-Earths are bigger than Earth but smaller than Uranus and Neptune, and the "Goldilocks Zone" (also called the "habitable zone") refers to a location where liquid water could concievable exist on a planet's surface.
Perhaps they should have taken a page from NEOWISE's book, though: the Super-Earths, which orbit the nearby star Gliese 887, have been named Gliese 887b and Gliese 887c - hardly names to write home about even from a Super-Earth.
