| Topic | so is our moon just named moon |
| Sephiroth C Ryu 05/24/17 10:19:18 PM #84: | Many people just prefer "Luna" because that way you know it is referring explicitly to Earth's moon. Indeed, in a sci-fi setting where there is another planet with a moon that people live on, the term "the moon" would typically be used to refer to the moon around the planet the speaker is currently on. Likewise with "Sun" really (even if it gets slightly weird sometimes with places like Tatoonie or however its spelled). "Luna" at this time in our history is never applied to any moon other than the one around our planet. . --- I am the Hunter of Topics. My post never fails to kill its prey. *pounces* Nyaa! ...
