I am renaming the Sun to the Daystar.

[subject_87]

You'll sound like a cult leader, but okay. It's your call.

 

[lSHaDoW-FoXl]

I'm in full support of the DayStar initiative.

Life needs to be more EPIC, and daystar is a tiny step in the right direction.

Seconded! *Or thirded*

 

[ThreeWords]

It's the nightstar as well, we still bathe in its light e'en after dark.

It could just be called 'star'. Correct, yes; confusing, yes as well.

Our sun is actually called Sol.

Of course, everyone on Terra knows that!

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Sun- noun. The parent star of a planet that supports life.

Sol- The name of Earth's sun.

 

[Harlemura]

I think we should just call it Jeff.
Maybe "The Great Jeff", just so we don't confuse it with other Jeffs.

I don't know why we should, we just should.

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Well, I guess that I will be re-naming the moon into "eye of tides".(Its copyrighted. By me)

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Sun is just another word for a star, as previously mentioned our sun's private name is Sol.

It's isn't. It's the English spelling of the northern European name for sun from that mythology. Sol is the latin name and Helios is the Greek. It's called Sol because latin was the main language of science in Europe for a long while.

 

[DigitalSushi]

I call it Soleil, but you know, thats because I'm French and shit.

 

[Akelzero]

Sun, Sol or Daystar. Any others? Because Sun is booring. We've been using it for so long.

Take your pick:
Sonne - German
diell - Albanian
slunce - Czech
zon - Dutch
soleil - French
sole - Italian
słońce - Polish
güneş - Turkish
that star that's really close - Akelzeroian

on a side note, google translate is really fun to play with

Our sun is actually called Sol.

Sol is awesome.

I'm guessing you watch doctor who because otherwise you would know that sol is really the name of an earth day on any other planet other than earth.(Or the name if the sun in rome)

No. I don't.

No. You are wrong.

Sol is Latin.

Madame, these short sentences convey a feeling of hostility, which leads to retaliation, and eventual punishment of the instigator, which would be you.

OT: Too late now, it's been ingrained into our minds as the Sun, and people don't like change.
Kind of like how Pluto is still a proper planet damnit!

I'm with you! Iv been calling it Sol on a daily basis for 20 years now.

The way I see it latin is language to turn to for names (either that or greek). Back to my point, you can call any other star sun as well but you can't call it Sol. Hence it is its private name, same for moon - you can call any chunk of rock orbiting a planet moon, for instance Jupiter has moons (with their own names), but our moon's name is Luna.

yes thats true sol means sun in latin languages such as mine

 

[Sparrow]

Huh. This isn't the Off-Topic forum.

I moved it for you.

On topic, I don't see the point. We can just keep calling it the sun.
It's faster to say, faster to type, and everyone knows exactly what we're talking about. No re-education required.

I'll stick with 'sun'.

You're missing the point, BT.

It sounds so much cooler.

is that official? or just some sci fi twaddle?

Psh. Daystar is still the coolest.
