The first exoplanet discovered by Chinese astronomers and its host star have been named "Wangshu" and "Xihe," which mean moon goddess and sun goddess respectively in Chinese mythology.

中国天文学家发现的首颗太阳系外行星及其母恒星被命名为“望舒”和“羲和”，在中国神话中分别寓意月神和太阳女神。

The two names proposed by the student astronomy club of Guangzhou No. 6 Middle School were announced at the Beijing Planetarium Saturday, which is a part of the NameExoWorlds campaign organized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

21日，由国际天文学联合会组织的“太阳系外行星世界命名”活动在北京天文馆公布命名结果。“望舒”和“羲和”由广州第六中学天文社提出。

Discovered by Chinese astronomers in 2008, Wangshu is about 440 light-years away from Earth in Lyra, orbiting Xihe, which is sufficiently bright to be observed through telescopes from China.

获得命名的太阳系外行星系统是中国天文学家在2008年发现的，望舒位于天琴座，距地球约440光年，围绕羲和运行；羲和亮度较高，在中国可以通过光学望远镜观测到。

Xihe's mass is twice that of the Sun, while Wangshu's mass is 2.7 times that of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, according to Zhao Fei from the National Astronomical Observatories, a member of the team who discovered Wangshu. "We love the two names, they are quite Chinese style," he added.

羲和的质量是太阳的两倍，而望舒的质量是太阳系内最大行星木星的2.7倍。“我们非常喜欢这两个名字，很有中国味道。”发现望舒的团队成员、来自中国科学院国家天文台的赵斐博士说。
