Talk:Luna

Hi! I was doing research for itsnameisthemoon.com and saw that the first definition for Luna is the name of Earth's moon. This is a common misconception and once that's been rehashed many times on the Wikipedia page for Moon (e.g. here). I've clarified that it's only the Moon's name in certain works of science fiction. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the details here. Thanks! Cosmologicon (talk) 15:34, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: "The name of Earth's moon; Moon." Feels like I'm getting nowhere trying to persuade Cosmologicon not to label it as strictly science fiction. Can anyone provide quotes, insights or help clarify how Luna is actually used? --Robbie SWE (talk) 13:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Weird. I've never seen it outside sci-fi either. Luna, Terra and Sol. Equinox ◑ 19:06, 30 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I suspect this might yield a usable cite or two:

 * It doesn’t help that NASA used names of the form Luna for all unmanned moonlanders.  --Lambiam 21:49, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Here is a use in an astrological work. --Lambiam 21:49, 1 October 2021 (UTC)


 * When I saw this in my nws feed, I expected it to be a lot easier to find non-sci-fi cites than it was. Maybe it's ""? - -sche (discuss) 17:23, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
