Published 15 Dec 1999 by Greg Stafford
As some of you know, we have been meddling with “The Perfect Sky” (a section of The Glorious ReAscent of Yelm) for several years, trying to iron out some of the discrepancies, omissions, and other problems in Plentonius’ list of the 100 Celestial Bodies.
Note that some stars from the published version have been removed. This does not mean that these stars do not exist, merely that they either were not one of the 100 visible bodies at that time (becoming visible later), or else that Plentonius omitted them from his list so that he could include other bodies.
