An illustration by Willy Pogany from a 'Children of Odin' chapter entitled 'How Loki wrought mischief on Asgard'. The wolf Sköll chases the personified sun, Sól, and his brother Hati Hróðvitnisson chases the personified moon, Máni, from Norse mythology.
Hati Hróðvitnisson chases Máni, Sköll chases Sól. Willy Pogany ()

Some notes on worldbuilding, salvaged from an ancient version of this site. Repairs in progress. These notes were collected from these links § worldbuild.

Note: These are speculative and subject to changes as humanity’s understanding of the universe improves. Most of the equations here are based on observed relationships between our Earth and the Sun.

Approximations suffice. No need to get lost in the minutiæ—unless that’s your idea of fun.*
