New Venus(?) Orbiter environment has two suns

[iLightning13]

Title, pretty much.

This environment looks absolutely incredible, except for this. Why is this the case? It's certainly not a moon because Venus has no moons, and there's never been more than one sun depicted in the game before.

Could the smaller one be that big reflector device for the orb vallis? If so, it really doesn't look like what it does from that location. The scale is off and you can clearly see the object planet-side, through the atmosphere, so you'd be able to see (or at least make out the individual lights) from orbit.

Quite minor feedback but slightly distracting. Take away the small one and it'd be perfect.

Love the rest of the update, especially the boss fights, thanks for all the hard work and looking forward to more.

It's the mirror the Orokin built to reflect on the Orb Vallis. There's dialogue in the game that states there is such a thing (and is responsible for the cold and warm cycles).

 

EDIT: Sorry, I replied in a hurry and didn't see you acknowledged the possibility. At least this is what the people in the community believe because there's really no other possible explanation, DE hasn't really confirmed it. Would agree on communicating better artisitically that it's the mirror if that was the intention.
