Slide: "I’m campaigning to have our ‘moon’ named ‘Luna.’ She needs a name! All the other planets’ moons have names!

Brave search summarizer:

"Diana, the goddess of the moon, the forest, and hunters, was worshipped by both the nobility and the lower classes of the ancient Roman empire.2 She was believed to have the power to talk to woodland animals and control their movements and behavior.01 Although there was probably no original connection between Diana and the moon, she later absorbed Artemis's identification with both Selene (Luna) and Hecate, a chthonic deity.3 Diana's cult became popular throughout the ancient Roman empire, both among the nobility and the lower classes.2 Her most famous place of worship was the grove of Diana Nemorensis on the shores of Lake Nemi at Aricia (modern Ariccia), near Rome."

Selene, Luna, Artemis...the old names! Your choice!

Artimis

OK back to the present!
