Well, actually our moon does have a name. An ancient name given by the Ancient of Days ....
It's known as Less in it's abbreviated form. It's full name is lesser light.
Genesis 1:
14 *ķAnd God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 *And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 *And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 *And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 *And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 *And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Seriously though ..... 424 million light years, eh? Well, one light year is close to six trillion miles. So 424 of them would be 2,544,000,000,000,000 miles. Now, there has been controversy over whether or not Pluto is a planet and even more controversy over whether or not there is a tenth planet in our solar system. Pluto and the supposed tenth planet are really in our "backyard" astonomically speaking at a mere a tad over 3 billion miles from the earth on average (it varies). So dividing 424 light years by 3 billion, we get 848,000. So, we have serious questions about Pluto and yet, this supposed "forming earth" is 848,000 TIMES as far from the earth as Pluto. I think they'd have a hard time determining what some dust is GOING to do at that distance.
It reminds me of the old joke ..... a little girl is in Sunday school and hears, "From dust you came and to dust you shall return". They get home and mom tells her to clean her room. She comes running out and says, "mommy, mommy! There's someone under my bed but I don't know if they're coming or going!"
