Reasons:
She also has lunar highlands that also is a reason for her name being Luna.
The moon is a female after her Greek Goddess Artemis.
Luna also means bright which people call the moon "bright" or Artemis's nickname was bright.
She is also named after Luna the Roman mythology Goddess which she is the moon goddess.
Luna is one of our earths satellite's as well as the moon (Luna) being earths natural satellite.]]> 2021-11-30 13:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1920303889 Atlas jlondi https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1920390816 Atlas was once a Greek Titan and his task was to hold the sky up on his shoulders for eternity. This would be a good name because without atlas there would be no sky. This is similar to the moon, if we did not have the moon orbiting our planet then there would be no tides, the Earth's wobble will get more intense, our seasons will change, and nights would become darker.]]> 2021-11-30 13:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1920390816 My moons name: Cthulhu bparmer4 https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921181270 Cthulhu is known as the Moon Lord. Another fact that connects Cthulhu to the Moon is that Cthulhus Realm is in the ocean and he resides in the ocean, the moon connects to the ocean by the tides and such. (when you think of either, the ocean immediately is thought of) There is a poem linking Cthulhu to the moon, the poem is called "What the Moon Brings". Cthulhus eyes shine brightly like the moon does at night, they say you could see Cthulhus eyes from the deepest parts of the ocean.]]> 2021-11-30 18:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921181270 Selene jbloom28 https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921184469    Selene, (Greek: “Moon”) Latin Luna, in Greek and Roman religion, the personification of the moon as a goddess. She was worshipped at the new and full moons.
     Selene is the Greek goddess of the moon, and the Romans refer to her as LunaSelene is the Greek goddess of the moon, and the Romans refer to her as Luna.
       Selene is described as an extremely beautiful woman with long hair. She is often said to wear a crown with a crescent moon on it.
      Selene is believed to have asked Zeus to give Endymion eternal life and to make him sleep forever.
    Selene is a female given name taken from Selene in Greek mythology. Selene was an archaic lunar deity and the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia. Her equivalent in ancient Roman religion and myth is Luna, Latin for "moon."
       Selene was worshipped in Greek mythology because of her ability to pull the moon across the sky with her chariot to provide a bright light in the otherwise dark sky.

The Moon's surface is continuously bombarded by meteorites and micrometeorites. Many, if not most, of these impactors contain water ice, and the lunar craters show that many of these were very large objects. Any ice which survived impact would be scattered over the lunar surface. Most would be quickly vaporized by sunlight and lost to space, but some would end up inside the permanently shadowed craters, either by directly entering the crater or migrating over the surface as randomly moving individual molecules which would reach the craters and freeze there. Once inside the crater, the ice would be relatively stable, so over time the ice would collect in these "cold traps", and be buried to some extent by meteoritic gardening

 Based on remote observations by radar instruments aboard Chandrayaan-1 and LRO, the lunar poles have over 600 billion kilograms of water ice.

The temperature can drop as low as -280 F

The Moon has no atmosphere, any substance on the lunar surface is exposed directly to vacuum. For water ice, this means it will rapidly sublime directly into water vapor and escape into space, as the Moon's low gravity cannot hold gas for any appreciable time. Over the course of a lunar day (~29 Earth days), all regions of the Moon are exposed to sunlight, and the temperature on the Moon in direct sunlight reaches about 395 K (395 Kelvin, which is equal to about 250 degrees above zero F). So any ice exposed to sunlight for even a short time would be lost. The only possible way for ice to exist on the Moon would be in a permanently shadowed area.

In a Science magazine article (8) on 29 November 1996, it was announced that interpretation of data from a Clementine spacecraft experiment suggested the possibility of ice on the surface of the Moon. The ice was believed to be in the bottom of a permanently shadowed crater near the Moon's south pole (at the center of the Clementine mosaic shown at the top of the page). It was also thought likely that other frozen volatiles, such as methane, were in the deposit. The deposit was estimated to be approximately 60,000 to 120,000 cubic meters in volume. This would be comparable to a small lake in size, four football fields in surface area and 16 feet deep. This estimate was very uncertain, however, due to the nature of the data.]]> 2021-11-30 19:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921210968 midnight- Jaron https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921211294 The name is midnight because the moon's surface is dark. Whenever it comes into the sky it makes it dark. The moon comes up when we sleep and we see darkness in the sky. You can't see the moon at night and you only see stars in the sky. Moon refers to the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing away from the Earth. The moon spins about its axis and orbits the sun with Earth, so its night or dark side is constantly moving.]]> 2021-11-30 19:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921211294 Indispensable Cheese kdonitzen https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921221182 i named it this because the moon is something we cant live without. we need the moon to help with tidal waves and moderates our planets wobble on its axis. and without the moon we would live in such a dark world at night. also it sort of resembles Swiss cheese with its different textures including the maria making deep indents throughout its geography. and just like the marias that were filled with lava at one point that have turned to basalt because of the cooling of the lava, swiss cheese gets its holes from gas bubbles popping in the cheese when its becomming a solid, they both go through changes to become something new. and plus i think it would be cool to give it a cheese name seeing as it was actually a very popular rumor starting in the 1600's of the moon being made out of cheese.  ]]> 2021-11-30 19:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921221182 Ares dbritt10 https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921230726 Ares is the god of war. The chaos and destruction caused by the impact theory would make sense when Ares gets involved. His counterpart, Mars, is also a planet. It has two moons and they are relatively small compared to Earth's. There is also the blood moon, where the moon has a red tint. Again, that would make sense when Ares is involved.]]> 2021-11-30 19:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921230726 Nyx kafuentes1 https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921231742 Nyx is the Greek goddess or personification of the night. This name would be a good choice since Moon is mainly visible at night and as the goddess' power is very strong. There is only one side of the Moon that we see every night and Nyx is not very recognized like the far side.
The Moon orbits Earth showing its different phases and there are many emotions felt toward Nyx from other gods. Nyx's power changes in darkness it can be a little weak or very deadly just as the Moon has many landscapes like the Maria, Highlands, and craters and is unique in its own way.]]> 2021-11-30 19:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921231742 Cleo jgreen280 https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921576030 my moon's name is Cleo , named after the Egyptian Goddess Cleopatra which means glory , praise and pride .

my reasons are i feel like with our moon some people praise to it because how important it is to us especially in our solar system and without it our nights would be super dark . Also in egypt there were a lot of myths about the moon , like they called the moon "lunar" and some of the people would only show they're heads spherically and the moon is also spherical . There was also a god of the moon called "traveller" , the moon travels around our solar system.

The surface of the moon is actually dark because the illuminated side is facing away from the Earth. However, unlike a lamp or our sun, the moon does not produce its own light. Moonlight is actually sunlight that shines on the moon and bounces off. The moon influences life as we know on Earth. It influences our our oceans, weather, and the hours in our days. ]]> 2021-12-01 01:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1921692179 Sasi https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1923817393 The name Sasi is a girls name meaning moon . Sasi can be a nickname for the fuller Sasithorn or just a name on its own.

The moon closest to the September equinox is called the Harvest moon.
The Harvest moon resembles a huge pumpkin in the sky; People often call it a blood moon, or pumpkin moon.
The main reason pumpkin is the name for my moon is because the physical appearance, size, color, craters, etc. The harvest moon also comes out in autumn, as well as pumpkins. The time of the year matches perfectly.

Astronomical zenith is defined by gravity; i.e., by sighting up a plumb line. If the line were not deflected by such local irregularities in the Earth’s mass as mountains, it would point to the geographic zenith

The point 180° opposite the zenith

Because the Earth rotates and is not a perfect sphere, the geocentric zenith is slightly different from the geographic zenith except at the Equator and the poles.]]> 2021-12-02 18:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1925882443 sandy https://padlet.com/gpentz/ge41b1wmiiyvlztu/wish/1957551723 surface is a darker color
