"The ground was not cratered and dust-covered like that of a normal airless body; it was blank, dimly shining, here and there corrugated in fantastic ridges where moltenness had congealed. Its darkness cut sharply across the Milky Way."
-Mirkheim, VII, p. 120.
Objects seen against the Milky Way have multiplied recently.

Kaor, Paul!
And given Poul Anderson's concern for rigorous scientific accuracy (or at least plausibility) I would not be surprised if there are actually planets in the Galaxy coated or covered with "supermetals" like Mirkheim.
