(European Portuguese) - IPA(key)
Mouros (/ˈmoʊ(uː).ru/) is a satellite to the moon Hemera, orbiting it at a little over 400 kilometers. As a small subsatellite, the moon lacks any atmosphere, but unlike many subsatellites, its surface is relatively smooth. This is perhaps owed to the protected position it occupies between the much larger Hemera and its asteroid belt.
Nomenclature
According to Portuguese, Galician, and Asturian mythology, the Mouros or Moiros are a race of supernatural beings which inhabited the lands of Galicia, Asturias and Portugal since the beginning of time.
For unknown reasons they were forced to take refuge under the earth, and now they are usually seen by people in the surroundings of castros and long barrows. The Mouros work with gold, silver and gemstones with which they make up enormous treasures that are protected by cuélebres.
