 Horos is a "Bishop ring"--a megastructure of a flat cylinder, like a wheel, which is tilted a bit relative to its orbit around the sun. It lacks any satellite (tides might be generated by precession). Spokes run towards a central Hub (which is always covered by clouds--there are also lower, normal clouds).
