the theory that the sun is the center around which the planets orbit was first proposed by the ancient greek aristarchus of samos in the 3rd century bc, and later adopted by seleucus of seleucia (see heliocentrism). this view was developed in a more detailed mathematical model of a heliocentric system in the 16th century by nicolaus copernicus.
sun
the system has five stars and seven brown dwarf/protostars. all the stars orbit the white sun, which is a class a0 giant, 2.5 times bigger than sol and 80 times as bright. the "central planets" are the terrestrial worlds that orbit the white sun. farther out in this system the red sun and georgia share an orbit, along with the worlds orbiting these stars, referred to as "border planets". the fourth star kalidasa and its planets orbit next. after that, the fifth and last star blue sun and its planets orbit. worlds orbiting these last two stars comprise "the rim". planets too far away from the biozones of the main stars are sustained for habitability by a series of protostars. the protostars qin shi huang and lux orbit the white sun. murphy orbits georgia. himinbjørg and heinlein orbit the red sun, penglai orbits kalidasa, and burnham orbits the blue sun.
