That would be a totally cool view to imagine Helene coasting by in Saturn’s night sky, just like our own Moon.
Does our ‘moon’ have a name?

Does our ‘moon’ have a name? Yes, it's Luna.
Funny, I was just telling one of my kids that the other night. She's studying the Solar System, and I stumped her on that question.

Does our ‘moon’ have a name? Unlike the moons circling other planets, in our solar system, our moon doesn't enjoy a distinctive name of its own.
It is simply referred to as 'The Moon' or sometimes 'lunar' (derived from the Latin Luna).

Our moon is named Luna?
Isn't that like naming your dog Canine? Reminds me of that Jimmy Stewart movie where one of his sons is named Boy.
