Naming of moons to as "Proserpina". More recently, especially in science-fictional contexts, the Moon has been called by the Latin name "Luna", presumably on the analogy of the Latin names of the planets, or by association with the adjectival form "lunar". In technical terminology, the word-stems "seleno-" (from Greek "selēnē" "moon") and "cynthi-" (from "Cynthia", an epithet of the goddess Artemis) are sometimes used to refer to the Moon, as in "selenography, selenology," and "pericynthion." The moons of Mars (Phobos and Deimos) were named by Asaph Hall in 1878, soon after he discovered them. They are named after the sons of the god
Moons of Mars infrared suggest a composition containing mainly phyllosilicates, which are well known from the surface of Mars. The spectra are distinct from those of all classes of chondrite meteorites, again pointing away from an asteroidal origin. Both sets of findings support an origin of Phobos from material ejected by an impact on Mars that reaccreted in Martian orbit, similar to the prevailing theory for the origin of Earth's moon. The moons of Mars may have started with a huge collision with a protoplanet one third the mass of Mars that formed a ring around Mars. The inner part of the ring
