We have the best moon, and the best sun. The reason no aliens have contacted us is that they're embarrassed.

It's going to be that thing where everyone just calls their star "Sun" and their moon "Moon". Like how in a bunch of languages the name of the language translates to "language" and the term for the people who speak it translates to "people".

The Moon loving rocks, it's the same size in the sky as the sun. Earth has the best goddamn solar eclipses

Only just now, for this geologically brief period where the moon's orbital radius is just right, which happens to be when we're around to see them and go 'that rules'.

We'll tell the aliens about the dope eclipses we used to have and they won't believe us. Then again, neither will most of humanity.

I read a SciFi short story years ago where somebody finds an alien on Earth who introduces themselves as a "human" from the planet "Earth" around the star "Sun" for that reason. It's a throwaway bit in the story, but a nice touch. Can't remember the name of the story though.

Literally any name we could give it would have become the standard name for moons. The root of the problem is that we only had one moon. But this can be fixed.

The apparent size of the moon changes enough that sometimes we get annular eclipse. If all that's preventing those grabby aliens from steam rolling our planet is our eclipses, we'd better be damned careful which ones we advertise. https://www.planetary.org/articles/what-is-an-annular-solar-eclipse?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz8L--e_bgQMVJRatBh0vdw2bEAAYAiAAEgKAofD_BwE

We should change the name of the moon to whoever discovered it first. Let's start asking around and find out who that was.

That would probably be some trilobite or other shortly after evolving eyes became a thing 540 million years ago or so. "Oh look it's a lovely full trilobite tonight!" Yeah, that works.

Probably the one interesting conceit from Iain M Banks's Transitions, unfortunately just kinda glued onto the tail end of a story built around a completely different and much less coherent conceit.

Yeah our black lab was called like Luna Shade or some dumb poo poo when we adopted her. We renamed her “Isla”. Just glad she didn’t imprint on that first one, luckily she was still a 4 month old pup.
