That is one of POV's prerogatives; but names always come out of the blue, 
imposing themselves.

I shall never understand all the excitement about discovering exoplanets... 
;-)

The Galactic Archives at Trantor contain the information about all the 
(habitable) planets in the galaxy. This is for instance Kartoffel.

(no, I shall not bring here the entire content of the archives...)

Sweet. The graininess of the land mass is a bit distracting, but I don't 
know whether that's just do to the image being rescaled or what.
