Gliese 682 has a system of five planets, which are all named after fire gods.

The sky map showing Sol as seen from GJ 682 is a representative view only. It is not possible to view the night sky from the inhabited regions of Prometheus because that world is tidally locked to its sun and the inhabited regions do not experience night. However, the view can be seen from spaceships in orbit above Prometheus or by visitors to the night side.
