How it works
This solar system name generator makes up a whole system in one line: a name such as Sarnex, a real kind of star, the planets around it and one note about them.

Four parts in one line
Press New solar system. You get a line such as "Ithrel, a red dwarf with four rocky worlds and a belt of ice. One moon has air a person could breathe." Tap a part to lock it, then press again: keep the star and press for the neighbors of one region of space, or keep a name such as Orisande and change what orbits it. Names come as words like Sarnex or designations like Tessel 9.
The stars are real kinds
Every star here is a real kind of star. The list under the tool gives each one a line: a red dwarf is the coolest kind on the main sequence, a yellow dwarf is a class G star like the Sun.
Questions and answers
Is this also a star system name generator?
Yes, in the everyday sense: a star and what orbits it. Astronomers use star system for a small number of stars that orbit each other, such as a binary star, and planetary system for a star with its planets.
Are these the names of real star systems?
No. The names are invented words, and the designations, such as Tessel 9 and Orrun 31, are a short word and a number made to look like a catalog entry. Each was checked against Wikipedia and against the real star names on this site.
What kinds of star can a system have?
Every kind dealt here is real: main-sequence stars from the cool red dwarf to the hot blue star, giants and supergiants, the dense white dwarf and the binary star, two stars in orbit around each other.
