CR7 has a galaxy named after him

A galaxy has been named CR7 after Real Madrid
forward Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the great stars of world
football and now one of the oldest and most crucial
parts of our galaxy.
Real Madrid's Portuguese forward, whose play
sometimes appears to be out of this world, has had
his name given to a galaxy which houses a cluster
of stars thought to have provided conditions pivotal
for life to flourish.
The CR7 galaxy - recently discovered by
astronomers - is said to have existed when the
universe was only 800 million years old - some 13
billion years ago.
The stars of CR7 "ultimately allowed us all to be
here by fabricating heavy elements and changing
the composition of the universe," according to Dr
David Sobral of the University of Lisbon.
Sobral, who led a group of astronomers in
discovering CR7, confirmed its name was inspired
by Ronaldo and the name of the method used to
date distant objects in the universe - Cosmic
Redshift 7.
Real Madrid star Ronaldo, who adopts the mantle
CR7 because of his initials and shirt number, won
Fifa's Ballon d'Or award in 2013 and 2014 and
scored a staggering 66 goals this season.
The former Manchester United has never been
short on confidence but it turns out he has been so
much more than a star for so long.
