  Taranis - Revision 2
Taranis, the thunder-god, was appeased by fire; the victims of Esus (the 'Lord') were stabbed and hanged from a tree until they bled to death; and those assigned to Teutates were drowned.
The association of Taranis with Fire is clear from the above figure and Caesar's words., the fire of the skies, the Sun, and the fire of the air, lightening and its voice thunder, giving the God his name, Taranis.
If he is correct, than Taranis was among the highest deities of the Celts as the solar wheel is one of the most prevelent symbol on Celtic artifacts.

 - Chapter 9
Ma, whose belly was the soil, whose bones were the rocks, whose breasts were springs and holy pools, whose veins were rivers and streams, did not accept the usurper-goddess Danu, and she kept many dark ones safe in her swamps and low places.
So Taranis lay with her, and in time she gave birth to a beast with a serpent's body, but with legs to stride on land, with a great maw filled with teeth sharp as lightning bolts, and as bright.
The beast's name was Taran-asco, which meant 'in Taranis' stead,' and it went where the Gauls feared to go, into the swamps and low places, where it lived upon the bodies of the small folk.

Since the luminosity of stars is very sensitive to mass, Taranis is only a little over half as bright as the Sun and burns its fuel more slowly.
It's quite an old star - at 5 billion years being half the age of the galaxy - yet it is just over a third the way through its stable, main sequence, lifetime.
Taranis itself may have plenty of life left; however, 5 billion years is a long time in terms of planetary evolution, especially if the planet in question is small.

 [No title]
Divinita' celtica attestata per la Gallia in questa forma specifica da Lucano (Bellum civile, V, 444-46; accanto a Esus e Teutates) e, con varianti formali, da poche iscrizioni che riguardano pressoche' tutto il mondo celtico.
Sebbene siano state sollevate perplessita', si puo' vedere in Taranis l'erede celtico del dio celeste indoeuropeo come lo e' il Giove romano con il quale fu identificato concorrendo al formarsi della figura sincretica dello Iuppiter gallo-romano.
A Taranis, stando ai Commenta Bernensia, veniva sacrificati esseri umani facendoli bruciare dentro ad alberi cavi; di fatto sembrerebbe che i Galli istituissero un'intima solidarieta' tra la folgore, cioè il "fuoco celeste", e il fuoco prodotto e usato cultualmente nella terra, in questo caso nell'olocausto umano; rapporto noto qua e la' in molte religioni antiche.

J.-J. Hatt poukazuje na to, že v laténské době byl Taranis tak silně ovlivněn předkeltským "Martem", že přebíral jeho koňskou postavu, což vidíme na konvicích v Reinheimu a Waldalgesheimu.
Svého času však musel mít Taranis ve své kompetenci Jiný svět a úrodnost jako "Dispater", "Jupiterův" temný souputník, obdobně jako irský Dagda, jinak by ho s ním Scholien neztotožnily.
