| ==Trivia==
| |
| The description of the 23 Librae system in ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'' bears several contradictions with real-world astronomical observations of the system. The novel states that [[Hesiod]] is the only gas giant in the system.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 158''</ref> However, at least two gas giants have been discovered orbiting the star.<ref name="wiki"/> Furthermore, ''The Cole Protocol'' establishes that Madrigal—a terrestrial planet—is the only planet in the star's habitable zone. In the real world, the gas giant [[Wikipedia:23 Librae b|23 Librae b]] was discovered in 1999 as orbiting 23 Librae in its habitable zone.
