@kchangnyt It seems sort of presumptuous to call our moon "Moon." It's like The Band.@Wodun001
@Rand_Simberg @Wodun001 "the IAU formally recommends that only the Earth's natural satellite, the Moon, should start with a capital letter."

@kchangnyt Do they have a rationale for that? I'm always arguing with Spudis about it. I don't think it should be privileged.@Wodun001 -
@Rand_Simberg@Wodun001 It's particularly annoying, because NYT stylebook (following AP style) says to lowercase "moon" for the Moon. - 1 more reply
