Perhaps you can explain how the sun and the moon go around in opposite directions? Whenever we see the sunset in the show, the sun is lowered below the horizon, then the moon rises from the exact same spot on the horizon. The only way I can think of would be a geocentric system with a dwarf star orbiting the planet. This would also explain the necessity of magic for their rising and setting, as with the two orbiting in opposite directions, tidal forces between them would slow them down until they can no longer maintain orbit.

I really like that idea! It's a good headcanon.
There were a few mistakes in one of the paragraphs, though:

"That was really a nice speech, Twi. You blew they're little heads off." Spike the Brave and Glorious congratulated her.

I love stories trying to explain the Universe of MLP:FiM. I wonder why no foal asked about what keeps the dust suspended in the air. I suspect that the answer is magic. With all of that dust in the air and polar icecaps, Equus looks almost like Mars.
