Please name the recently discovered planet HD 106906 b "Gallifrey" in honor of Doctor Who's 50 years!
During the series' 50th anniversary simulcast, it was revealed that the Doctor's home planet, Gallifrey, survived, being frozen inside of a pocket universe. HD 106906 b and Gallifrey have much in common, including being larger than Earth, smoldering orange, and the possibility of having been formed in a binary star system. The discovery of this impossible planet so soon after the 50th anniversary is nothing short of miraculous, and it would be an absolutely fantastic way to honor this record-breaking series which has shaped the lives of millions.
Thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely,
[Your name]
Signed.
