Talk:Akhaten

Star or planet?
At the beginning of the episode, doesn't the Doctor refer to it as a planet? Ensephylon ☎  16:17, April 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Wasn't that him referring to Sung Sings of Akhet not this astronomical body.
 * Your question still remains, I'm not sure if it's referred to as a planet or a star. It looks and behaves like a planet (like a gas giant) but also glows like a star. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:53, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but he called the Sung Sings of Akhet "seven worlds all surrounding one sun," therefore they're a solar system, not a planet. So what was he calling a planet...? --SOTO ☎ 17:03, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

At the start he says the illumination is from an 'alien sun'. He is referring to Akhaten; besides, the surface and atmosphere of the star reflect that of a star, not a planet (e.g. boiling mist, corona).
