[[File:Mfull Sfull.jpg|thumb|left|Nirn's two moons, both full]]
[[File:MW-place-Ministry of Truth.jpg|thumb|right|clear=none|The Vivec Moonlet]]
Above Nirn there are two moons: [[Lore:Masser|Masser]], also known as [[Lore:Jode|Jode]] or [[Lore:Mara|Mara]]'s Tear; {{ref|name=VOF|{{Cite book|Varieties of Faith...}}}} and [[Lore:Secunda|Secunda]], also known as [[Lore:Jone|Jone]] or [[Lore:Stendarr|Stendarr]]'s Sorrow.{{ref|name=VOF}} Masser is the larger of the two, well over twice as large by appearance. Since Secunda is sometimes seen to transit Masser, it is clear that Masser is indeed larger, not closer.{{intnote|Mars|Note 1}} In Khajiiti legend, the motion of the moons constructs something called the "Lunar Lattice", which protects [[Lore:Mundus|Mundus]] from the rest of [[Lore:Aetherius|Aetherius]]. {{ref|name=WOCMA|{{Cite book|Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi}}}} Khajiit are born in differing forms depending on the current phases of the moons. See [[Lore:Khajiit#Morphology|Khajiiti Morphology]] for details.

==Constellations==
There are thirteen named constellations in the sky. There are three Guardian signs; [[#The Warrior|The Warrior]], [[#The Mage|The Mage]], and [[#The Thief|The Thief]], each of which protects three charges. Each of these twelve signs corresponds to one of the twelve [[Lore:Calendar|months]] in the Tamrielic year. The thirteenth sign, [[#The Serpent|The Serpent]], has no guardian or month and moves around the sky, usually threatening the other signs. ''[[Lore:The Firmament|The Firmament]]'' provides descriptions of all of the constellations, as quoted in the following sections.
In {{Year|2E 582}}, three Guardian signs — the Warrior, the Mage, and the Thief — fell from the sky and took on a mortal form known as {{Lore Link|Celestial|Celestials}}.{{ref|name=ESO|Events of [[ON:Online|ESO]]}}
The [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] have symbols for these constellations, which (except for The Serpent) correspond to letters in the [[Lore:Dwemer Alphabet|Dwemer Alphabet]].

==Starmaps and the Orrery==
Many cultures follow the passage of the stars.
===The Dwemer===
[[File:RG-misc-Dwemer Star Map.jpg|thumb|right|A Dwemer Starmap]]
Undoubtedly the most advanced knowledge of the heavens comes via the relics of the [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]].
Of particular importance is the [[Oblivion:Orrery|Orrery]] found in the [[Lore:Arcane University|Arcane University]] at the [[Lore:Imperial City|Imperial City]] in [[Lore:Cyrodiil|Cyrodiil]] which shows all the various planets and can even draw upon the power of Nirn's twin moons.
A second place of importance is upon the isle of [[Lore:Stros M'Kai|Stros M'Kai]] where a [[Redguard:Observatory|Dwemer observatory]] lies.
{{NewLine}}
===The Yokuda===
[[File:RG-misc-Yokudan Star Map.jpg|thumb|right|A Yokuda Starmap]]
The Pre-Redguard [[Lore:Yokuda|Yokudan]] culture in particular was noted for its astrologers, who would make crude starmaps in their camps.
{{NewLine}}
===The Elder Scrolls===
[[File:Elder_Scroll.jpg|thumb|right|An Elder Scroll]]
Finally, the [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]] themselves would seem to depict some sort of starmap, with various glyphs of unknown purpose adorning both the foreground and background.
Upon careful examination of the particular Elder Scroll depicted here, one can see an outline of The Thief constellation; this is highly appropriate, as this particular Elder Scroll was stolen from the [[Lore:Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace]] and used to break the curse on the Cowl of [[Lore:Nocturnal|Nocturnal]].
==Notes==
{{note|Mars|1.|Masser is clearly a color-modified version of real-life photos of [http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA04304 Mars]. Secunda's real-life base is less clear-cut but it might be based on [[wikipedia:Triton (moon)|Triton]], the largest moon of Neptune.}}

==Starmaps and the Orrery==
Many cultures follow the passage of the stars.
===The Dwemer===
[[File:RG-misc-Dwemer Star Map.jpg|thumb|right|A Dwemer Starmap]]
Undoubtedly the most advanced knowledge of the heavens comes via the relics of the [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]].
Of particular importance is the [[Oblivion:Orrery|Orrery]] found in the [[Lore:Arcane University|Arcane University]] at the [[Lore:Imperial City|Imperial City]] in [[Lore:Cyrodiil|Cyrodiil]] which shows all the various planets and can even draw upon the power of Nirn's twin moons.
A second place of importance is upon the isle of [[Lore:Stros M'Kai|Stros M'Kai]] where a [[Redguard:Observatory|Dwemer observatory]] lies.

===The Yokuda===
[[File:RG-misc-Yokudan Star Map.jpg|thumb|right|A Yokuda Starmap]]
The Pre-Redguard [[Lore:Yokuda|Yokudan]] culture in particular was noted for its astrologers, who would make crude starmaps in their camps.

===The Elder Scrolls===
[[File:Elder_Scroll.jpg|thumb|right|An Elder Scroll]]
Finally, the [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]] themselves would seem to depict some sort of starmap, with various glyphs of unknown purpose adorning both the foreground and background.
Upon careful examination of the particular Elder Scroll depicted here, one can see an outline of The Thief constellation; this is highly appropriate, as this particular Elder Scroll was stolen from the [[Lore:Imperial Palace|Imperial Palace]] and used to break the curse on the Cowl of [[Lore:Nocturnal|Nocturnal]].
