> They say the sky is Terra Incognito. Terra means earth though. Can someone with latin knowledge help out here? Caelum Incognito?

|
||
>> I actually used "Caelum Incognito" in another project :)
|
||
>> Yes, Terra means Earth (we say "Terre" for "Earth", in french)
|
||
>>
|
||
>> But in this context, I would have said it means "Land". The expression "Terra Incognita" is mostly used for "unexplored territory".
|
||
>>
|
||
>> I already met the expression refering symbolically to knowledge, fields of research, and even refering to "a new love story" :)

|
||
>> The direct latin translation would be something like "unknown land". The phrase was used on maps in Ye Olden Times, to refer to the western continents beyond the oceans; because of the mystique North America held to the people of Europe in those days, the phrase itself became heavily romanticized. So the usage in the story isn't calling from a direct Latin translation; it's tapping into that romanticized connotation.
