We need a name for the upcoming v0.16 release. The naming scheme can be found here: NAMING.md

Suggestions:

• Nitrogen Nebula
• Nitrogen Nemesis

Please put more suggestions in the comments :)

Other possible celestial objects/names:

• Naiad
• Nereid
• Nereus
• Nova
• Neutron
• Norma

Nitrogen Nemesis refers to the asteroid 128 Nemesis, details see Wikipedia.

More proposals:

• Nitrogen Nereid, from a moon of Neptune
• Nitrogen Niobe, from the asteroid 71 Niobe
• Nitrogen Nöther, maybe admissible because there is a moon crater with that name

What about Nitrogen Neptune?

[jwinterm]

I like Nitrogen Nova or Nitrogen Neutron(Star)

[vdo]

+1 for Nitrogen Nereid

[defterade]

+1 for Nitrogen Nebula

[caseysparkz]

I like "Neon" over "Nitrogen".

Throwing my hat in the ring for "Neon Nebula"

[selsta]

@caseyasparks v0.19 will be Neon :) This release is Nitrogen according to the naming convention.

Extra points from me if you can relate the name to Dandelion++ somehow.

[SomaticFanatic]

What sort of celestial object acts like a dandelion fluffing?

[scottAnselmo]

Probably closest thing I can think of would be a red giant star due to the nature of it iteratively shedding like dandelion seed clusters.

[janrothen]

What about Nitrogen Needle?

NGC_4565 also known as the Needle Galaxy

NGC_6751 looks just like dandelion. But sadly the name doesn't start with n.

Unless "Nitrogen NGC6751", LOL.

[Gingeropolous]

"Nitrogen NGC6751"

then we'll be just like elon naming things unpronounceable things. its all the rage! my troll vote is on this one.

actually might put my real vote on that one. Nice little easteregg for someone to google and then go "oh, dandelion, right"

[xmrhaelan]

+1 for Nitrogen Needle

@SamsungGalaxyPlayer Isn't there any celestial object called Dandelion? I found some images with similar shapes to a Dandelion, so maybe there could be something similar:

Maybe Nitrogen Dandelion?
Maybe there's some celestial body with convenient name that shapes similar to this?

[Lafudoci]

Maybe Nitrogen Dandelion?

Nope, the second word needs to start with "n". Please check the naming scheme in the first comment.

[Sunray-Nucleon]

Nitrogen Nucleon

isn't this dandelionish

[...]the nucleons are partially delocalized and organize themselves according to the laws of quantum chromodynamics.

~~wikipedia

and its number 7 in the list and Nucleon has 7 protons and 7 electrons in the atomic structure
