Jeanway 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Why not ours?? I often wondered about his. The only thing I've found about this is:The Moon has gone by other names. The Greeks called it Artemis and the Romans knew it as Luna (or Diana, the virgin goddess). Luna endures in the word lunar, which refers to all things of the Moon, but not of other moons. And there are seasonal Moon names, like September's Harvest Moon or, in August, the Sturgeon Moon! Did you see the moon tonight?? I've never seen it so bright. And I can even make out the details without a telescope. This must be September's Harvest Moon. Eventhough today is August 31. Three more hours it will be September. You got any good pic's of the moon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrWho42 13 Posted August 31, 2004 Well, not everything needs a name... In some science-fictional genres, civilisations don't go bothering what to call themselves, or the timeline that they are in. And, this is the link I posted on my links thread... Lunar Photo of the Day And from another thread of mine... Some of the odd structures on the Moon....

Airies 0 Posted August 31, 2004 The moon was beautiful the last two nights as a matter of fact at 630am I saw it in western sky with pink clouds. What a beautiful site.

You got any good pic's of the moon? 257935[/snapback] Selene is the Greek equivalent to Luna. She is the Titan goddess of the moon. Diana/Artemis did have some connection to the moon but, Selene/Luna, Theia, and Phoebe were the main moon goddesses in Greek/Roman Mythology (THeia and Phoebe were Titanesses, and Theia was the mother of Selene, Helios-the Sun, and Eos - the Dawn). Primarily, I have always thought the actual designations were Luna (for the Moon, though most of the time I see it written in books as just "moon" or "Earth's Moon") and Sol (for the Sun, which is the Roman variant of Helios, the Sun god and brother of Luna) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
