There are [[seven wanderers]] in the sky over the known world, each of which are sacred to the [[Faith of the Seven]] and associated with one of [[the Seven|the seven gods]].{{Ref|ASOS|26}} Each wanderer may be a planet, as the word "planet" is derived from the [[w:Greek|Greek]] word [[wikt:πλανήτης|πλανῆται]] (''planētai'', which means "wanderers" or "wandering stars").<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/planet Definition of planet by Merriam-Webster] (retrieved on May 19, 2018)</ref><ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/planet Define Planet at Dictionary.com] (retrieved on May 19, 2018)</ref> On Earth, the seven planets of antiquity included the Sun and Moon.<ref>[[w:Classical planet|Wikipedia: Classical planet]]</ref>

One of the seven wanderers is the [[red wanderer]], considered by the Faith of the Seven to be sacred to [[Smith (the Seven)|the Smith]].{{Ref|ASOS|26}} Among the [[free folk]], the red wanderer is known as the Thief.{{Ref|ASOS|26}}{{Ref|AFFC|15}}{{Ref|ADWD|35}}

Beyond these seven wanderers, other "wandering stars" have also been known to appear, such as comets and [[w:Meteoroid#Meteors|falling (or shooting) stars]]. 
* According to legend, over ten thousand years ago,{{ref|AFFC|21}} the founder of [[House Dayne]] tracked a falling star to an island at the mouth of the [[Torentine]], and discovered there a stone with magical powers. The castle of [[Starfall]] was constructed on that location,{{ref|TWOIAF|Dorne: Kingdoms of the First Men}} and the Dayne ancestral greatsword, [[Dawn]], was forged from the heart of this fallen star.{{ref|ACOK|21}}
* Ser [[Duncan the Tall]] spotted a green shooting star in the sky outside [[Ashford]] in {{Date|209}}, and made it part of his [[sigil]].{{Ref|THK}}
* A comet was seen above [[King's Landing]] in {{Date|281}}.{{Ref|AFFC|35}}
* A [[red comet]] appears in the sky over [[Westeros]] and [[Essos]] in {{Date|299}}.{{Ref|ACOK|6}}{{Ref|AGOT|66}}{{Ref|AGOT|72}}

Seeing a falling star is considered to bring luck.{{Ref|THK}} The [[prince that was promised]] is [[prophecy|prophesied]] to be born beneath a "bleeding star",{{Ref|AFFC|45}} which some believe to be a comet.{{Ref|AFFC|35}} [[Azor Ahai]] is prophesied to be reborn when "the red star bleeds".{{Ref|ASOS|25}}
