    renaming the Earth, or the Moon

    I’d be totally up with renaming out Tierra and Luna to something that is not eurocentric. Would be a nice change of pace against how much of immediate astronomy is caught up in remixes of Greek and Latin.

      It’s only Eurocentric in the Western tradition, and even then the names of many stars come from Arabic.
