The Sun and Moon names

by rob on March 31, 2008

We’ve named the planets, their moons, and other stars.

But our moon and sun are just called “the moon” and “the sun”.

Did we get lazy, pompous, or do I just not know their names?

    How about "gas ball of fire" and "crater face"?
  • I call the moon "Frank" and the sun "Beta Rum Cake Seven." You got better? I didn't think so.
  • Sol and Luna I think.
