Sounds to me like the consensus of GBS is we call the moon "Luna" and refer to the sun as "sol" from here on out. I guess I'm ok with that

I'm sorry, but, no, every other piece of garbage in this stupid star system is named after Roman gods so Luna, Terra, and Sol are obvious and work and nobody on this dirtball actually cares about the "Well, ahem, actually, it is not a PROPER noun, myah, myah" semantics bullshit. You all don't gotta strain yourselves or try and change its name to "The McRib" or whatever.

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.
