Who named the Milky Way, Sun, Moon, Earth, and Blackhole?

Answer 1

As for all the terms you name except black holes, no one knows who coined the terms in English because it was so long ago (although we know the Romans called it the Milky Way in Latin). As for the black hole it was John Wheeler who first used the term "black hole." See the source below.

Answer 2

It would seem the one who created the moon, sun, earth would be God, would have done so-Genesis 1

---Moses wrote the account in 1513 bce, but the reference goes back to some 50,000 years ago. No one discovered them as to give them names, such as Pluto .

--In the scriptures the earth is used several ways:

*** it-1 p. 667 Earth ***

Bible Terms and Significance. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the word used for earth as a planet is ´e´rets. ´E´rets refers to (1) earth, as opposed to heaven, or sky (Ge 1:2); (2) land, country, territory (Ge 10:10); (3) ground, surface of the ground (Ge 1:26); (4) people of all the globe (Ge 18:25).

--The Milky Way is referred to as "fine gauze" in the following text:

(Isaiah 40:21-22) . . .Has it not been told to YOU from the outset? Have YOU not applied understanding from the foundations of the earth? 22 There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell. . ."

The constellations are referred by names:
(Job 9:9)  9 Making the Ash constellation, the Ke´sil constellation, And the Ki´mah constellation and the interior rooms of the South;

(Job 38:31-32) 31 Can you tie fast the bonds of the Ki´mah constellation, Or can you loosen the very cords of the Ke´sil constellation? 32 Can you bring forth the Maz´za·roth constellation in its appointed time? And as for the Ash constellation alongside its sons, can you conduct them?

This writing was completed in 1473 bce--

Answer 3

Different people. Which one are you talking about? In English? Some countries call the milky way, river of stars. Except for the blackhole which is fairly recent discovery, others were observed and named (agreed from some nobody's utterings) from dawn of man. It's like asking who named boy, girl, rock, tree, etc.

Answer 4

For the most part the names are all translations or variations of the names given to them by the ancient greeks.

Planet for example is an adaptation for the ancient greek word for Traveller or Travelling Star.


The only exception on your list is Black Hole. The ancient greeks had no idea black holes could exist. The term comes from modern day cosmologists and astrophysicists describing a theoretical type of star. Evidence points to the idea that they exist, but explicit proof has not been discovered.
