Well, if it's one of those extremely late ideas that didn't go anywhere, and which tend to totally stuff things up if you take them seriously, then I'd rather avoid it to be honest. =/ They are around, you know. But still, do you think you could tell us what JRRT actually said to this effect, i.e. that the Ainurin creation idea, fundamental in the mythology, did not in fact 'happen'?

Interesting, this ME star-list actually has Carnil down as Mars... at any rate, I am afraid my knowledge of astronomy is not too extensive and as such, cannot really speculate as to the identity of Frodo's red star [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
