Sweet! I keep thinking of Solaris, but I can't find a suitable acronym to match.

You know I think that maybe a popular entry along with Solaris and Apollo, maybe they should have gone for the popular vote, then again maybe not, "Mcboaty mcboatface". 🤣

I'm thinking foreign tongues too, and having lived in Catalonia... Asfodel (the Catalan spelling of Asphodel).

Advanced Solar Flare Observatory and Detector at Earth's Lagrange

 

 

Asphodel (Greek mythology) - the flower said to carpet Hades, and a favorite food of the dead.
