In James Cameron’s Avatar, what is the name of the moon called Pandora?

In James Cameron’s Avatar, Pandora is a moon of the gas giant Polyphemus.

Pandora is the primary setting of the 2009 science-fiction film Avatar. It is depicted as a lush, habitable moon with an extraordinary ecosystem, floating mountains, bioluminescent life, and the indigenous Na’vi civilization. The human visitors seek unobtanium, a valuable fictional mineral found there.

Pandora is not presented as a planet. Its status as a moon is an important part of the film’s fictional astronomy, and Polyphemus is the massive planet around which it orbits. The name deliberately echoes the Greek myth, although the film’s world-building develops a separate story.

The film’s detailed environment and ecological themes made Pandora one of the best-known fictional extraterrestrial settings in modern cinema.
