intresting observations

while looking at the night sky while playing oblivion i looked up and was like hmmmm that moon or distant planet looks kinda like the surface of oblivion so that made me think maybe oblvion isn't another plane maybe its ether a moon or another planet? what do you guys think? and in the orry i noticed some of the oblivion moons have moons of there own found that rather intresting

Here's the wiki article on the astronomy of the Elder Scrolls: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Astronomy

 

I think that Oblivion is intended to be a separate plane of existence. It is described as the void surrounding Mundus, or the mortal plane. If I remember correctly, there are more planets in the solar system of Magnus (the sun) that includes Nirn (upon which are the continents of Tamriel, Akavir, Atmora, Yokuda, etc.). Those planets and their moons, I think, are named after the gods. I don't believe they are the planes of Oblivion, although I could be wrong. I think there is an explanation somewhere as to why Masser is red...

 

Here's another article on Masser: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Masser

 

One on Secunda: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Secunda

 

And here's a link to the Imperial Library's section on Cosmology: http://www.imperial-library.info/content/cosmology

 

The whole thing is open to interpretation, really. I hope those links will help you better understand what you're looking at in the night sky! :biggrin:

I can definitely see where you are coming from, though it wouldn't have occurred to me if you hadn't pointed it out :)
