Placio -- Yes, I meant -- tidally locked to the star, not to a planet.

In the Trojan position, it would take very little effort (comparatively speaking) to stabilize the planet, and the motion of the ringed object could be some sort of librational motion (which would be emphasized due to the fact that we wouldn't have the high angular momentum to keep the pole in place.

I love this post/thread. I have often in the back of my head wanted to start studying the stars and planets around Atys when I got time, but have been busy lately. I am so happy this club or association has started, May I join?

I have no idea how to determine things such as in your discussion. I have often wondered how astronomers through ancient history have discovered things like if (OC: the sun revolved around the Earth, or visa versa. How a dot in the sky is either a sun or a planet, and the time it takes to go around the Sun, and things like these.) It takes real time and thinking I guess.
I guess i will have to use my brain and try to contribute. In the mean time, I look forward to more discussions on this subject.

-Thanks for starting this discussion!

Welcome Naema! Everyone is welcome :) We just need to take what we can observe, offer possible solutions, and then see which solution would fit best. And we can only decide on a best fit, since the animation of the sky is not that scientifically accurate.

I am a Fyros. What more do I have to say other than that?

ok, yes, in character even Kara tech is "magic," but OOC even "magic" could be explained with science.
