The @NYRangers were founded in 1926, as center ice at @TheGarden reminds us. The same year astrophysicist Edwin Hubble discovered that our galaxy — the Milky Way — is a small part of a vastly larger universe that also contains the @StanleyCup. https://t.co/FXkLJRjljI

NASA logo merchandise has been seeing growing demand since 2017, when Coach asked permission to use NASA’s 1970s-designed, retro red logo type for its collection and then approval requests doubled. NASA doesn’t make a cent off merchandise bearing its name

Saturn and it's brightest moon Titan.

There are plans to turn Buzz Aldrin's childhood home in New Jersey into a museum. Could NASA sponsor this museum or purchase the house?

How to pronounce star names??

Sorry for the total noob question, but I'm just starting to learn about astronomy. I looked around on google but wasn't able to find a good answer. I'm wondering if there's a special way to say a name of a star when it has a superscript. For example Omicron² Eridani. Would I say "Omicron Two Eridani" or maybe "Omicron Super Two Eridani?" What is the standard convention for reading out these types of names? Thanks.
