NASA is putting up a new telescope to examine some of the least known phenomena in the universe and they are letting the people name it.

Quote:
* The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2008.
* The name should capture the excitement of GLAST’s mission, bringing attention to gamma rays and high-energy astronomy.
* The name should be catchy, something that people will talk about.
* Make it simple and easy to say. Nothing says complex and inaccessible like a mouthful of acronyms.
* In keeping with NASA tradition, the satellite will not be named after a person who is still living.
* Finally, the name must be original and not associated with any past, present or future astronomical observatory or space mission (domestic or international) or any NASA program. Sorry, Voyager fans!


You can choose multiple ones but have to fill out it again after your current one.

I don't mean to sound pushy but I'd really like you guys to submit one with the name Stargazer. It's a name that me and others on a different site thought would be a great name. You don't have to if you don't want to but we would really appreciate it.
