> The target is the bottom of Jezero crater, a 50km-diameter impact crater on the northwestern edge of a much larger impact basin called Isidis. In Slavic languages, “Jezero” means lake. Jezero was chosen because it looks (based on orbital imagery) like it was likely a huge lake in the ancient past, with rivers running into it and forming river deltas like we have here on Earth.

I mean, yeah, Jezero means lake, but the crater was named specifically after a municipality in Bosnia with about a thousand inhabitants (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezero,_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina). IIRC it's something about promoting space exploration in more rural towns and villages around the world.

For a Slav, it is very unusual to see any Slavic word in a worldwide context.

The roots of pretty much everything seem to be Greek, Latin, English, French, sometimes German and Spanish. Seeing anything in an English text that I can actually understand natively in my head (such as Jezero) is a weird system interrupt.

The only possible exception is robot, which does not sound very Slavic on its own. "Robot" does not provoke this interrupt.

Martian craters are typically named after towns around the world that have fewer than 100,000 residents to avoid political pressures.

It can be both. Jezero was named Jezero because it's next to the jezero.

Edit: Same as e.g. Volgograd (wet town), which is next to the Volga river, named Volga because it's wet.
