Planets are astronomical bodies. Altmeri high priests use jeweled rotating and counter-rotating orreries to determine which Aedric planet to worship.[1] Number Eight is important in their culture as it is considered the Number of the Planets.[2] They named planets after Elven Aedra, but refer to the same celestial objects as Mannish cultures.[UOL 1][UOL 2]
The largest shooting stars are actually planets with independent orbits. One of the most well-known is the Rogue Plane; Baan Dar.[UOL 3]
