Moho? More like mold!

[JelloTickles]

So, after a bit of staring at Moho's name, and then remembering my mom saying something about it and mold, I have figured out that Moho means Mold!

I've searched it up on numerous translation sites, like Google translate, Babylon and also Dictionary.com, so I guess it's pretty real.

This is the end of the Moho, or Mold, news report.

What? In what language does Moho mean mold?

In the Spanish language, and SQUAD are mostly Spanish as most of them live in Mexico City.

Another theory is it's related to Mohole, a name for a giant deep hole in the ground. Like what's at its pole.

[The Destroyer]

It could be Moho (genus), a genus of birds in the family Meliphagidae

I like this theory the best, unless the hole was made after the name was chosen, but idk about that.

Moho's name is not a reference to the terrain anomaly at the pole. That's caused by mapping a rectangular terrainmap onto a spherical object. If you go to the poles of other planets or Moons, you'll notice that others have strange terrain formations, such as the mountains on the Mun's north pole.

Which comes, in turn, from the MohoroviÄÂić discontinuity, the boundary between a planet's crust and mantle, which is often simply called Moho.

[The Destroyer]

THAT'S where it came from!

[Panchopinata]

That video was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Also, now whenever I look at the map and see Moho this is going to go non stop in my head.

[Richy teh space man]

It reminds me of the Moho mines from Total Annihilation..

[Strategia]

It reminds me of the Moho mines from Total Annihilation..

So named, again, because they tap all the way into the MohoroviÄÂić Discontinuity. At least, that's what I've always assumed, since it makes perfect sense.

I love visiting poles. Mysterious places.

God I loved that game.

[JelloTickles]

I still like my theory. Moho is my very own mold.

[Epthelyn]

Moho in Sylheti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylheti_language) seems to mean love.

Ironic really. It's one of the hardest places in the game to get to and there's nothing there to love

Still, Doctor Who wins. The MohoroviÄÂić Discontinuity is too much of a good explanation to be the right one. After all, planets seem to have obscure backgrounds; There's a planet in Space Engine which looks exactly like Duna - Not exactly easy to find.

Oh, and in Kerbal the planet name would be Ohom, not Moho. It's reverse Spanish remember
