How this list was compiled

A list of 136 space names for a group or a team, written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-02 and filed in six groups: planets, moons and comets; galaxies, stars and nebulas; astronauts and mission control; stargazers and astronomy clubs; futuristic team names; and funny space puns. Under 54 of the names a line says what the term in the name means. Each line follows, in our own words, the opening of the term's English Wikipedia article, read on 2026-10-02 (for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuiper_belt, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_window), text under CC BY-SA 4.0. The names are our own work. None was taken from a film, a show, a game, a space agency, a mission, a spacecraft or a company, and any match is a coincidence. Compared by script the same day with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
