非營利組織「白矮星研究公司」（White Dwarf Research Corporation）的暗淡藍點計畫（Pale Blue Dot Project）{{noteTag|1=後更名為「領養一顆星」（Adopt a Star）計畫<ref>{{cite web|url=https://adoptastar.org/|title=Nonprofit Adope a Star - Support Astronomy Research|access-date=2023-02-09|archive-date=2023-02-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230208114026/https://adoptastar.org/|dead-url=no}}</ref>}}。允許捐款10美元以上給他們天文研究計畫的捐款者為一顆星球「命名」<ref name="tsn">{{cite news|url=http://tsn.ua/tsikavinki/u-kosmosi-z-yavilasya-zirka-z-nazvoyu-putin-h-ylo-i-zalishitsya-tam-navichno-357427.html|title=«Путін&nbsp;— х*йло» тепер з'явився навіть в космосі|publisher={{le|TSN.ua|TSN.ua|ТСН}}|date=2014-09-16|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140916161756/http://tsn.ua/tsikavinki/u-kosmosi-z-yavilasya-zirka-z-nazvoyu-putin-h-ylo-i-zalishitsya-tam-navichno-357427.html|archivedate=2014-09-16|language=uk}}</ref><ref name="moscow">{{cite news|url=https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/07/04/no-plans-to-rename-star-offending-putin-a37042|title=No Plans to Rename Star Offending Putin|publisher=[[莫斯科時報]]|date=2014-07-04|accessdate=2023-02-08|language=en|archive-date=2023-02-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209113633/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/07/04/no-plans-to-rename-star-offending-putin-a37042|dead-url=no}}</ref>。而烏克蘭天文學家應[[敖德薩]]活動家的要求，將這顆恆星命名為「普丁是個傻子」<ref name="ct">{{cite news|url=https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20140709003402-260408?chdtv|title=恆星命名 烏克蘭諷「普丁是個傻子」|date=2014-07-09|author=徐秀娥|publisher=[[中時新聞網]]|accessdate=2023-02-08|archive-date=2023-02-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230208105059/https://www.chinatimes.com/realtimenews/20140709003402-260408?chdtv|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name="tsn" />。然而，實際上[[國際天文聯會]]不承認也不提供任何星星的命名服務，故取名「普丁是個傻子」不具任何官方性質，此名稱也不為科學界所採用<ref name="moscow" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iau.org/public/themes/buying_star_names/|title=Buying Stars and Star Names|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140926171558/http://www.iau.org/public/themes/buying_star_names/|archivedate=2014-09-26|publisher=[[國際天文聯會]]|accessdate=2023-02-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://geekweek.interia.pl/internet/news-ukraincy-nazwali-gwiazde-putin-to-kut,nId,1462676|title=Ukraińcy nazwali gwiazdę "Putin to kut..."|publisher={{le|Interia}}|date=2014-07-04|accessdate=2023-02-09|language=pl|archive-date=2023-02-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209111657/https://geekweek.interia.pl/internet/news-ukraincy-nazwali-gwiazde-putin-to-kut,nId,1462676|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

暗淡藍點計畫的創始人特拉維斯·梅特卡夫（Travis Metcalfe）表示他在發現此事在[[網際網路|網路]]上走紅前，並不知道這個詞的涵義，但就算知道了，也無意更改<ref name="moscow" />。他說：「我們沒有計劃審查任何這些對星星的命名，言論自由已經寫在星星上了。」他也表示，這不是第一次有人以不雅的名字命名星星來罵人<ref name="moscow" /><ref name="time">{{cite news|url=https://time.com/2964352/vladimir-putin-huilo-star/|title=A Star With a Not-So-Nice Nickname for Putin Won't Have to Change|date=2014-07-07|publisher=[[時代雜誌]]|author=Nolan Feeney|accessdate=2023-02-08|archive-date=2023-02-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230208115154/https://time.com/2964352/vladimir-putin-huilo-star/|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.knack.be/nieuws/wetenschap/poetin-is-een-eikel-staat-letterlijk-in-de-sterren-geschreven/|title=Poetin is een eikel’ staat letterlijk in de sterren geschreven|publisher={{le|Knack (雜誌)|Knack (magazine)|Knack}}|author=Trui Engels|date=2014-08-07|accessdate=2023-02-09|language=nl|archive-date=2023-02-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209113442/https://www.knack.be/nieuws/wetenschap/poetin-is-een-eikel-staat-letterlijk-in-de-sterren-geschreven/|dead-url=no}}</ref>。
