reallivedinosaur posted:they do, when they need to differentiate it from other moons and suns i bet astrologers do, astronomers don't it's easy differentiate because it's THE moon and everything else has a name or at least an alphanumerical designation Luna is just Latin for moon and it's not any kind of official designation or title or anything.

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]

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.

504 posted:And then Latin died out but we kept (and adapted) some of the words. no dude the words solar and lunar are the remnants of Latin because sol and luna are Latin prefixes now in English, not the other way around. The Moon is the proper name for the Earth's satellite.

At the end of SA, a moment will come when just one shitposter remains. Then the moment will pass. All the posters will be gone. There will be nothing to show that we were ever here... but stardust.
