Astronomy and literary criticism
Yet another exoplanet i.e. the one located outside the solar system would be discovered on the eve of the springtime equinox. We suggest a new planet be called Zemblya (from Russian Zemlya – Earth) for its natural environment, which is thought to be pretty similar to that of Earth. Therefore, life forms on that planet can not be ruled out. Incidentally, the above name was first used by Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Pale Fire. Nabokov refers to the planet Zemblya that moves around the star ZX123-4, which, in fact, shines rather dimly.
