just to really ram it homequote:The usual English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is "the Moon".[10][11] The noun moon is derived from moone (around 1380), which developed from mone (1135), which is derived from Old English mōna (dating from before 725), which ultimately stems from Proto-Germanic *mǣnōn, like all Germanic language cognates.[12] Occasionally, the name "Luna" is used, in poetry for a personified Moon, or in science fiction to distinguish it from other moons.[13]

Moridin920 posted:bro that article is retarded the moon is called "luna" and the sun is called "sol" in scientific circles the fact that those words mean "moon" and "sun" in latin doesn't change the fact that those are names anymore than "shoemaker" originally meaning "maker of shoes" doesn't disqualify it as a name

the international astronomical union says 'the Moon' is the right name but forums posters say 'nah I heard an astrophysicist say Luna' so i guess the IAU is dumbosquote:But neither Sol nor Helios is an official name for the sun, according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the international body of astronomers which since 1922 has charged itself with the responsibility for naming celestial bodies. Just to confuse things, the IAU does suggest we all use Sun and Moon, rather than the lowercase sun and moon. As a result, most astronomers do capitalize these words (frequently along with other non-standard capitalizations such as Galaxy, Solar System and Universe), but most media organizations (which tend to use media stylebooks such as the AP Stylebook) don’t.
