Default Re: What is the Name our Moon?

You people are silly, the 'original' name for the moon (aka Luna) was/is Artemis.

Now who wants to disprove me by finding 'earlier' references to the moon and it's name?

Cheers!

I believe the first ever name for the moon was something like:
"Ug-big-round-sky-night-shiny"

I feel quite safe in doubting that early homosapiens verbal communicatedion consisted primarily of phrases containing small syllable english words.

I think they are probablyly scum, and should be prosecuted as scam artists.

Hard to say. Humans are stupid enough to do so at some point.

Does any one man or company have the right to claim the moon as there own property even if they file a claim with the UN and or other authority?
No.

... So is the moon named Luna?
Yes, by some people.

Quote:
I don't believe that it is the offically world wide accepted name.
Sounds like it isn't.

You're not.
