QUOTE (Rakhir @ Jun 7 2007, 06:29 AM)  SELENE has now a nickname : KAGUYA. http://www.jaxa.jp/topics/2007/06_e.html Edit : And Emily searched for the origin of the name http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00000996/ I notice that the blog writer Leonard David at livescience.com has come to a similar conclusion. He points out that the name "Kaguya" is from an ancient Japanese tale 'Taketori Monogatari' - the tale of the Bamboo-Cutter which involves Princess Kaguya, the Moon Princess." ====== Stephen |
