Weather of Arabia - Association of the Moroccan Initiative for Science and Thought

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has approved the designation of the star "WASP-161" and the planet around it, whose names are Tislit and Isli, and who participated in the Moroccan researcher in the doctoral wire, Berkawi Khalid, in discovering the planet.

After accepting several proposals for nomination, the National Nomination Committee chaired by Mr. Zuhair Benkhaldoun, head of the Okaimden Observatory, accepted the vote and the proposal that was received by Amal Chehlafi first and then by Oumayma Babakhouya subsequently won 24.8 percent of the Moroccan vote.

The choice of the names “Easley of the Planet” and “Teslit to the Star” came first because they are closely related to Moroccan Amazigh culture and mythology, which will draw attention to this discovery and contribute to its spread through the myth associated with it, because people love stories and legends, as the choice of two Amazigh names will increase their attachment In the sky and their love for her.
Legend has it that the waters of the lakes of Teslit and Asli in Emilchil are nothing but tears of two lovers bound by a strong love for which the Ait Hadidou tribes have never known, and another myth holds that a young man from the Ait Ibrahim tribe loved a girl from the Ait Ezzi tribe (the two tribes of Ait Hadidou), but the enmity The inherent between the two tribes due to the conflict over the pastures and vital paths did not allow to achieve their goal, which was nothing but marriage. A neighborhood people later called Teslett (the bride). Therefore, the choice of the two names also has a semantic meaning as the star as a bride and the planet as a groom revolves around it.
