Default Saturn-like planet should be visible in Plane of Sky & during GM Events

Cue the X-Files music...

While crawling through thousands of screenshots while researching pet names, I came across a ton of images in Plane of Sky with a Saturn-like planet in the background. It was so common in fact that I stopped flagging / collecting the photos

Note that all those images have the planet skewed at an angle, however I believe it can change position as Norrath turns, as this next photo shows it more horizontal:

So I was pretty convinced this was just a perk of being in the Plane of Sky, then I came across this curious image, which apparently shows the planet rising behind some trees (commonlands? karanas?):

This confused me as I never ever recalled seeing a Saturn-like planet in the sky during live (never went up to PoS myself on live either). Then I found the smoking gun explanation in this other image of Saturn over the Karanas:

There is a blurb that reads:
Quote:
The Norrathian version of Saturn hangs low in the night sky over the North/South Karana stone bridge. Saturn makes an appearance whenever there is a major GM event going on.
I think that would be pretty slick to implement! Makes Sky seem more 'other worldly' and it can be a 'bat signal' of sorts during GM events. Would have loved having a screenshot during the Halloween event while I was in illusion form with Saturn in the night sky [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is this something that can be implemented? Not sure if the actual image of the planet is available in older / more classic clients (else need to be recreated in photoshop), or if it is something that can't be implemented due to Titanium. Maybe there are some ways around it by building it into a texture or something.

Let me know if further information is needed. #ClassicQuest
