The ship's boat, Williwaw, descends into the planet's atmosphere:
the hemisphere below is amber and gold;
on one horizon, there are red and purple bands and cosmic blackness;
on the opposite horizon, orange clouds reflect dawn light from the tiny red dwarf sun;
the day side of the planet is bright and changeable with undulating streams and whirlpools;
the explorers discuss their beliefs in God and life;
Caitlin names the planet after Danu, the mother goddess of the Tuatha de Danaan.
