Yeppers, and so now you can be a total nerd and be VERY annoying when correcting anyone who calls another star system (planet system, either or...) a solar system that technically only OUR system revolving around Sol is the solar system. And Fox McCloud lives in the Lylat system, orbiting... Solar... Okay so apparently the scientists of Corneria decided to be more original in naming systems than just using the star's name... But hey, only OUR scientists were creative enough to OFFICIALLY call our galaxy the "Milky Way". No way some cool name like Andromeda will fit us. We gotta be called a name that inspires TERROR in any alien forces trying to destroy our world and threaten our children, MILKY WAY!
(Oh, and on that same note only our moon has a "lunar landscape" or any other term that starts with "lunar". Then again, since most of the moons in our friendly neighborhood Solar System are very different from our's, it's kinda hard to label them all one type of landscape to begin with.
One final thing. Isn't it just the weirdest coincidence that our moon is 400 times smaller than the sun yet 400 times closer to us, so that it ends up being exactly the same size and being able to perfectly cover the sun during an eclipse? That's just good design right there.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
