    .@chrisbersbach: I once got a bar trivia question "wrong" for saying the Sun's name is Sol. // You're clearly hanging out at the wrong bars.

        @neiltyson @chrisbersbach If only our Sun is named Sol, why do we call all planetary systems (that revolve around a star) Solar Systems?

        @neiltyson @chrisbersbach So our Sun's name is "Sol" as well as "Sun"? Yet any small natural satellite orbiting a planet can be a "moon"?

        .@neiltyson my read of the IAU suggests the Sun doesn't have a proper name, but since they demoted Pluto I don't recognize their authority
