Ok...he said the wind was blowing really hard and loud, but he didn't hear anything or feel a boom.

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Space announced on Monday that it will be naming a planet after the Hebrew letter Alef. The competition was held on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the International Astronomical Association, which is the only institution authorized to assign names to celestial bodies.As part of the project, the IAU offered dozens of countries the chance to name a planet and a star in solar systems outside of the Milky Way. So far, over 400,000 people from 110 countries have voted which name they liked the most for their respective country's planet.Israel is among the leading countries in the number of suggested planet names and the number of voters who actively participated in the poll. The letter Alef, a word that stems from the proto-Semitic word for "bull" and its written form resembles an ox's head, has an abundance of different meanings. It's the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is also used as a vowel.In set theory, a branch of mathematics or of symbolic logic that deals with the nature and relations of sets, the letter Alef is used to indicate the strength of an infinite set - another symbolism, as the universe is also believed to be infinite.
