Gliese 667c
- Cinder & The TWINS

The Sky of Three Suns

Gliese 667 (142 G. Scorpii) is a triple-star system in the constellation Scorpius lying at a distance of about 22 light-years from Earth. All three of the stars have masses smaller than the Sun.

The first thing a spacer notices about the Gliese 667C system is the sky. It's a place of three suns.
The "main" sun is Cinder (Gliese 667C), a dim, listless red dwarf that provides a weak, dusky light. Dominating the "day" sky, however, are "The Twins" (Gliese 667 A and B), a binary pair of bright orange and red stars. They hang in the sky like a pair of celestial eyes, providing more light than Cinder, but not enough warmth.

This creates a "day" of permanent, dusty twilight, cast in an unsettling, three-shadow glow. The locals are spiritual, often worshiping the "Three Suns" (The Father, The Mother, and The Ghostly Son), and are deeply superstitious about the "triple dark," when all three suns are below the horizon.
