Many terrans spend their evenings looking up into the skies, wondering what mysteries the night holds. Others take a more scientific approach, attempting to learn everything they can. The skies they search have much to look at. Terra has two moons which loom large, but the other planets and their moons also feature prominently, waxing and waning as their orbits bring them closer and further from Terra.

The study of the sky has exploded with the recent discovery of the telescope, allowing terrans to see unprecedented details.
