It’s not often we get to cover astronomical details in this line of work, but this deserves some attention!
NASA has officially named a star constellation after the legendary King Of The Monsters, Godzilla.
According to the official filing -The unique star cluster grouping is (theorized) to contain high levels of gamma-jet rays, similar to Godzilla’s own Atomic Breath.
A most deserving accolade for the legendary kaiju!

Crap. SpaceGodzilla is real now.

Well, time for a new Kyuranger special, with new constellation Kyutama.
Thank you NASA!
Rather conveniently timed with a Dragon Sentai coming up. xD

Wow, nice to see Godzilla get something named after itself. I know Kamen Rider got an asteroid named after itself. Did Super Sentai or Ultraman get something named after them? Would be cool if they did. Personally, I'd name a minor planet after Garo.

Calling it now 13th Kyuuranger is totally either
A - Kaijuu King
or
B- Monster King
SUre its the godzilla constellation but might run into SLIGHT copyright issues but going monster/kaijuu instead is generic enough- and we get our dragon ceasar look a like just like Ryuu Voyager was a lovely Ryuuseioh nod.
would be perfect for Kyuu Vs LVP
just in time to introduce the dragon/knights themd 2019 series.

Small correction to this. Nasa named it, but it's not an "official" constellation yet.
It sits right above the Enterprise constellation which is over the Hulk constellation near the Tardis Constellation.
... That's not even a joke.

They'd stay away from "Kaiju" as a name because it's too direct referential, and Monster King is too vague while also being too direct.
So they'd go to the heart of it like DragonCaesar did as the nod, and be blunt. "Dragon King". Especially with a series coming up about Knights. So they'd want to dive right into the meme, and definitely have to reference "God" in there besides of course king.
Bonus points if they pull a:

If this does get a Kyutama, watch Hasbro rename it the Dragonzord constellation.
