In astronomy, an extraterrestrial sky is a view of outer space from the surface of an astronomical body other than Anteria.
The only extraterrestrial sky that has been directly observed and photographed by astronauts is that of the Moon. The sky of Stratos has been observed by space probes designed to land on the surface and transmit images back to Anteria.
Characteristics of extraterrestrial sky appear to vary substantially due to a number of factors. An extraterrestrial atmosphere, if present, has a large bearing on visible characteristics. The atmosphere's density and chemical composition can contribute to differences in colour, opacity (including haze) and the presence of clouds. Astronomical objects may also be visible and can include natural satellites, rings, star systems and nebulas and other planetary system bodies.
Slahonus
Because Slahonus has no atmosphere, the view of planets and other celestial bodies would be no different than viewing them from orbit. Slahonus has a north pole star called TBA, with TBA magnitude. It also has a south pole star named TBA with TBA magnitude.
The Sun has a big difference in angular diameter due to its orbit's eccentricity, ranging from 2.261° to 1.558° (The Sun from Anteria has an angular diameter of 31' for example). Thus, the apparent magnitude of the Sun also fluctuates between -29.96 at perihelion to -29.15 at aphelion.
Other planets viewed from Slahonus
Out of all the objects of the Tendor System (Sun excluded) the brightest object is
