At the beginning of the episode, doesn't the Doctor refer to it as a planet?

:Your question still remains, I'm not sure if it's referred to as a planet or a star. It looks and behaves like a planet (like a gas giant) but also glows like a star. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 16:53, April 7, 2013 (UTC) | :Your question still remains, I'm not sure if it's referred to as a planet or a star.

At the start he says the illumination is from an 'alien sun'. He is referring to Akhaten; besides, the surface and atmosphere of the star reflect that of a star, not a planet (e.g. boiling mist, corona). | At the start he says the illumination is from an 'alien sun'.

Couldn't one argue that the light from the sun could've been coming from anywhere? You don't need to look at the sun directly to see its light, after all. Also, nobody is blinded when they look at Akhaten, and it has rings. It could be a gas giant, or is pretending to be one. | Couldn't one argue that the light from the sun could've been coming from anywhere?

:I thought the reason no one was blinded when they looked at Akhaten was because it was asleep. When they woke it up, it opened its "eyes" and "mouth", there was light inside. | |||
Most importantly, they're called the '''Sun-singers of Akhet''' as in they ''sing'' to the ''sun''. In the episode, it's said they sing to keep the Old God asleep, so doesn't that mean that Akhaten is the sun that they're singing to?[[User:Kelnius|Kelnius @ http://absurdwordnerd.blogspot.com.au]] [[User talk:Kelnius|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:57, January 4, 2014 (UTC) | |||
