Re: What is the Name our Moon?
I prefer Solar System as a proper name refering to our system orbitting Sol, and stellar system as the generic form. But I guess I don't get the final say. 
It's ironic I think that astronomers, the people most abundantly aware how insignificant our little place in the cosmos is, cling to such "terra-centric" nomenclature.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
And Earth -isn't- a generic name? Terra and Sol are actually pretty genetic too, they just don't seem so since they were borrowed from other Languages..

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
Actually, more people use Luna than Moon.
Luna is the name in Spanish, Italian, Russian, Ukranian and many more Languages. All togeter, South America and Eastern Europe population exceed English language natives.
Of course, when humanity becomes one nice democracy, we will use the Chinese name. Anybody knows it ?

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
Is this thread necromancy or lunatic ravings? Pick one, since Halloween is coming up, vampires or werewolves.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
According to all scientific information, and the cosmic foks, the name of the official name of the moon is LUNA. It was named by the Romans and that is the world wide official name for her. We just call her the moon.
