Chironian Skies
Has anyone tried to figure out what the night sky would look like on Chiron?

Probably something like Baghdad during the Gulf War, if my games are any indication

LOL, VV that was great!!

Therehas been some attempt in the Chronicles to describe the twin sunsets, and the moons'light, but someone could prolly make a pretty compelling descriptive piece out of it

I believe the cover art from the original CD shows a Morgan city at night.

Then, of course, there's the movie for the Maritime Control Center secret project, but if I remember right it's at sunset/dawn..

And, if you've got SMAX, there's the Planetary Energy Grid -movie.

Somehow it seems the opinions are varying..

I was thinking more along the lines of the stars and the constellations

The Centauri system is quite close (relatively speaking) to the sol-system, so the sky is quite similar. Most constellations would be identifiable. There would be a new star in the sky, Sol, and the Centauri stars would, of course, not be counted.

Don't ask me for any details. For that you need someone who knows astronomy.
