Jag har hittat lite mer information om Ardas astronomi:
Alcarinquë - Jupiter:
Citera:
In the distant past, at the time of the awakening of the Elves, Varda added many brilliant stars to to the heavens using the shimmering dews of Telperion the Silver Tree. Among these were the familiar star-patterns we still know today, and other lights that were not truly stars. Among these was Alcarinquë - the planet we know as Jupiter. Its Elvish name translates as 'The Glorious', because it would have been the brightest object in the skies at that time (the Sun, the Moon, and Venus - the Silmaril of Eärendil - were all far in the future at this ancient time).
Anárrima
Citera:
Anarríma était l'une des étoiles placées dans les cieux par Varda. En Quenya, Anarríma signifie la Bordure du Soleil. Nous ignorons à quelle étoile ou constellation elle correspond.
Carnil
Citera:
A red star created by Varda in preparation for the coming of the Elves.
Elemmírë - Merkurius
Citera:
Elemmírë est l'une des étoiles placées dans les cieux par Varda. En Quenya, Elemmírë signifie le Joyau d'Etoile et correspond à la planète Mercure.
Luinil - Uranus
Citera:
luinil est l'une des étoiles placées dans les cieux par Varda. En Quenya, Luinil signifie Etoile Bleue et correspond à la planète Uranus.
Lumbar - Saturnus
Citera:
Lumbar est l'une des étoiles placées dans les cieux par Varda. En Quenya, Lumbar signifie Sombre Nuageuse et correspond à la planète Saturne.
Nénar - Neptunus
Citera:
A star placed in the skies by Varda Elentári. Its identity is uncertain - there are some indications that Tolkien considered it to be the Elvish name of the planet Uranus, but such a faint object seems out of place among the bright stars named with Nénar in The Silmarillion.
Citera:
Nénar est l'une des étoiles placées dans les cieux par Varda. En Quenya, Nénar signifie Humide et correspond à la planète Neptune.
Soronúmë - Aquila?
Citera:
One of the constellations that Varda traced in the sky with the dews of Telperion, before the Awakening of the Elves. Its name, which seems to mean 'eagle of the west' suggests a connection with the stars we know today as Aquila, but this is not certain.
Telumendil - constellation d'Hercule
Citera:
telumendil est un groupe d'étoiles placées dans les cieux par Varda. En Quenya, Telumendil signifie l'Amoureux de la Voûte Céleste et correspond certainement à la constellation d'Hercule.
Wilwarin - Cassiopeia?
Citera:
One of the many bright stars and constellations placed in the heavens by Varda to welcome the Elves into Arda (from which she took her name Tintallë, the Kindler). The name Wilwarin means 'butterfly', though it isn't clear which of today's constellations corresponded to this ancient star-pattern. Christopher Tolkien suggests that Cassiopeia might be a candidate for the star-butterfly, and indeed its 'W' shape seems a reasonable match for the name.
