SUMMARY
→	A close-orbiting moon with ring proximity experiencing regular eclipses
DESCRIPTION
→	Aryabhata (476–550) was an Indian mathematician who explained eclipses and posited that planetary albedo was the reflecting of the sun's light. Byae Aip GW-N d6-10 5 a orbits a mere 1,349 km from it's parent gas giant, and is only 110 km from it's ring. The lack of inclination of the parent Class III gas giant guarantees a spectacular eclipse every 0.8 days. ![Standing under the rings](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52558638159_0053d4a543_k.jpg) A video of this system [can be viewed here](https://youtu.be/PylyhwgzSmY). This star system sports 44 bodies that includes: - a small Water Giant. - a Class IV gas giant is unsurprisingly draped with a wide ring. - a close and fast orbiting pair of moons. - a variety of metal rich and high metal content worlds. ![Close and fast orbiting pair of moons](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52558886283_92bc52fc99_k.jpg) ![Water Giant with spectacular icy rings](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52562267923_535d433048_k.jpg)
