The reason I think it is the planet is because gems wouldnt exactly need a sun to warm them They are gems not humans and I never stated that the gems would swim in the lava I just thought it would be theyre ocean. They wouldn't need a star for warmth, but they would need a star or any other bright celestial object to see, otherwise the Homeworld would be engulfed in darkness. Also, even if the planet is covered in a massive ocean of lava, it still wouldn't be bright enough to be seen from Earth. And if it was the planet itself glowing, it would be so bright that the gems wouldn't be able to see or build anything. I know Steven Universe is a magical show that breaks the laws of physics, but this is simple astronomy and volcanology.
