Earendil as Venus and the Dome of Stars - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi, I was just thinking, what are the views of the Dome of Stars (HoMe X) here, and the result (if it's adopted) that all stellar bodies were created in the same ancient era? What would this mean for Earendil, which in LotR is specifically reffered to as a star? Would it continue to be Venus, or simply a (now gone) Silmarill flying in the heavens, or is the Revised Silmarillion going with a 'Flat World' cosmology? Thanks.
