NameExoWorlds 2022 Edition and the Romanian approved names

The first exoplanets were discovered just three decades ago and over 5000 have been identified since. Most of these planets are only referred to by their scientific designations and have no connections to our stories and cultures. The systems to be named by NameExoWorlds 2022 are of special interest, as they are among the first exoplanet targets of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). NameExoWorlds 2022 is a collaboration between the Executive Committee Working Group on Exoplanetary Systems Nomenclature and the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach. From Romania, 5 names for 5 extrasolar systems were proposed, and one proposal was approved for the WASP-43 extrasolar system: Gnomon and Asrolábos - names of ancient astronomical instruments, especially for navigation. We briefly present the 2022 campaign, emphasizing its importance in stimulating young people towards astronomy.
