9697. When asked about the sun of their system which gives their planet light, they said that their sun has a flaming appearance. And when I indicated to them the size of our planet's sun they said that theirs was smaller. (For before our eyes their sun is a star; and from angels I heard that it was one of the smaller stars.) They also said that the starry sky could be seen from their planet too.
