NotesMore than a thousand light years from the Solar System, Moriah falls near the western border of Delphinus in the sky. A relatively Sun-like star, though somewhat larger and more luminous, Moriah has a single known planet. That planet, named Jebus, has more than twice the mass of Jupiter, and follows an orbit so close to its parent star that Moriah is expected to consume and absorb it within the next few million years.
