Translated to English, probably “Name-of-Star” 3, as in 3rd planet from our star, same system as Star Trek. The key difference is Columbus had no idea where he was going, and aliens have to know exactly where they’re going. Can’t shoot into space and find a planet by accident.
Chances are you can find a planet by accident, it's just going to take a very long time
If we're going by Columbus logic, probably "Jupiter"
Can we get to Jupiter through Earth? No, but at least there’s beaver.
