-Unexplored systems that have been identified on astronomical surveys are usually given a UXS (UneXplored System) designation,​ followed by their Sector and a number - such as UXS-Grus 7894. Once the system has been explored, and the data released, the explorers have the right to name the star, and that name becomes the new designation. The previous UXS number goes back into circulation and can be applied to newly catalogued stars.+[{{ :​image:​space:​125_pia17259_ip.jpg?​400|Finding interesting phenomena in previously unexplored systems can be a profitable enterprise for lucky crews((Image credit NASA/​JPL-Caltech))}}]Unexplored systems that have been identified on astronomical surveys are usually given a UXS (UneXplored System) designation,​ followed by their Sector and a number - such as UXS-Grus 7894.
