In honor of our “Adopt-A-Planet” campaign, we’ve created a little video to explain the process and how it works!

This open-ended campaign gives anyone in the public – worldwide – the opportunity to adopt exoplanets in professional astronomical databases via our website.

As always, proceeds from the naming and voting will continue to help fuel The Uwingu Fund and to support grants for space exploration, research, and education.

Watch the video and see how simple it is to Adopt-A-Planet for yourself, your group, company, your kids, your friends, your club, your heroes, or organization, anything—let your imagination run!

Four Easy Steps For You To Adopt-A-Planet

2. Help the name reach 1,000 votes either via an individual contribution or get your friends and social networks to help contribute at $.99 per vote.
3. Once your favorite name reaches 1,000 votes, you (or whoever nominated it originally) will be able select adopt almost any perfect world from official exoplanets directories. Just let us know what exoplanet that is.
