Names

Over breakfast, no time for a post, except this one. Names for heavenly bodies get recycled between fictional universes. In Starfarers, Kithmen are on the planet Maia and it sounds as if Morgana is one of its moons:

for Maia as the sun of Hermes, see Mornings;
for Morgana as a moon of Avalon, see O Moon Of My Delight.

That is all until much later today or some time tomorrow. Have a good day or night, whichever part of the planet you are on.

Kaor, Paul!

And of course "Maia" always reminds me of JRR Tolkien. He used that word for angelic beings or spirits who were of lesser rank than the Valar. Good ones like Melian, who became incarnate as a woman evil ones like Sauron being two examples.
