//! What a ship's survey says about a place: how hot it is and how that
//! swings over its year, how long its days are, how hard it pulls, what its
//! air is like, what hangs in its sky, and how many people live there.
//! None of it changes how the game plays. It's there so each place feels
//! like somewhere.
//!
//! Temperatures are worked out, not made up: the starlight a body gets at
//! its distance from the star (which changes along an eccentric orbit),
//! less what it reflects, plus what its air traps or its insides give off.
//! Moons share their planet's distance. Everything else is drawn from a
//! hash of the place, so it's the same every visit and system generation
//! (and every universe already made) is left alone.
