It symbolizes the moon as a gentle, guiding presence in our lives. Similarly, \u201cShiv Shakti\u201d encapsulates the cosmic harmony of masculine and feminine energies, manifesting through Hindu deities Shiva and Shakti, symbolizing the dynamic forces that drive and sustain the universe in eternal balance while \u201cTiranga\u201d as it fly high. However, when it comes to the international conventions for naming space locations, the situation is nuanced. While these conventions are not set in stone, they do adhere to certain principles. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) founded in 1919 and has been responsible for planetary and satellite nomenclature ever since. The United Nations also supports the IAU&#8217;s role by endorsing its Resolution 13 on Extraterrestrial feature names in 1982, at its &#8220;Fourth Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names&#8221; in Geneva.<\/p><p>The notion of naming celestial bodies has evolved over time, transitioning from mythological or culturally inspired names to more systematic and scientific ones. The IAU has guidelines for naming craters, mountains, valleys, and other features on celestial bodies. These guidelines aim to recognize the historical and cultural significance of names while maintaining a structured and logical approach. For example, craters on the moon are named after deceased scientists, scholars, artists, and explorers who have made outstanding contributions to humanity. Mountains are named after terrestrial mountains or ranges that are culturally prominent or scientifically important. Valleys are named after lunar or terrestrial features that are associated with nearby craters or mountains.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has-el-gap el-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5657938 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5657938\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-accaf4f\" data-id=\"accaf4f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-196b438 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"196b438\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 16.604px; font-family: 'Public Sans', system-ui, sans-serif; font-weight: var(--title-fw-bold);\">ALSO READ<\/span><\/p><p class=\"is-title post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/index.php\/2023\/06\/24\/hanumans-journey-of-guidance\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>HANUMAN\u2019S JOURNEY OF GUIDANCE<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has-el-gap el-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-17148f7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"17148f7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4dd8bc4\" data-id=\"4dd8bc4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-196e22f e-transform elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"196e22f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_rotateZ_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;deg&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The IAU also encourages public participation in naming space locations through various initiatives and contests. For instance, in 2019, the IAU launched a campaign called NameExoWorlds, which invited people from around the world to propose names for exoplanets and their host stars. The campaign received over 360,000 proposals from 112 countries and resulted in 112 new names for 112 exoplanets and their host stars.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9201 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8fb4e7d7-1fee-43cf-8c13-29c4fbe1f0bd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8fb4e7d7-1fee-43cf-8c13-29c4fbe1f0bd.jpg 980w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8fb4e7d7-1fee-43cf-8c13-29c4fbe1f0bd-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8fb4e7d7-1fee-43cf-8c13-29c4fbe1f0bd-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8fb4e7d7-1fee-43cf-8c13-29c4fbe1f0bd-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/8fb4e7d7-1fee-43cf-8c13-29c4fbe1f0bd-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/> <strong>Vyom Mitra, the humanoid for ISRO&#8217;s Gaganyaan<\/strong><\/p><div><p>However, not all names proposed by the public are accepted by the IAU. Sometimes, there are conflicts or controversies over naming rights or preferences. For example, in 2015, NASA announced that it had named a mountain on Pluto after Tenzing Norgay, one of the first two humans to reach the summit of Mount Everest. However, this name was not officially recognized by the IAU, which had its own rules for naming features on Pluto and its moons. According to the IAU, mountains on Pluto should be named after underworld deities from various mythologies.<\/p><p>Similarly, the IAU&#8217;s approach to naming celestial bodies is not immune to controversies. The notable reclassification of Pluto in 2006, downgrading it from a planet to a dwarf planet, remains one of the most well-known instances. This decision encountered criticism from both within the scientific community and among the general public, fueling ongoing debates about whether Pluto should be rightfully considered a planet or fall under a different classification.<\/p><p>These examples show that naming space locations is not a simple matter of personal preference or national pride. It involves balancing various factors such as historical legacy, cultural diversity, scientific accuracy, and international cooperation. While some names may have deep emotional or sentimental value for some people or groups, they may not be universally accepted or recognized by others.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9203 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/49362c35-1445-4cb1-b5db-97d07233f871-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/49362c35-1445-4cb1-b5db-97d07233f871-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/49362c35-1445-4cb1-b5db-97d07233f871-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/49362c35-1445-4cb1-b5db-97d07233f871-450x267.jpg 450w, https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/49362c35-1445-4cb1-b5db-97d07233f871.jpg 642w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>So what does this mean for \u2018Chanda Mama\u2019 and the landing site \u2018Shiv Shakti\u2019 or and Chandrayaan-2 lander impact place as \u2018Tiranga\u2019? Well, as of now, these names are not officially endorsed by the IAU or any other international body. They are informal designations that reflect India&#8217;s cultural identity and vision for space exploration. However, this does not mean that they are invalid or irrelevant. They are still meaningful and inspiring for millions of people who look up at the moon and see Chanda Mama smiling back at them.<\/p><p>Perhaps one day, these names will be formally adopted by the international community as well.
