Phaa Ain GG-N d7-29 B 4 a

Visible from orbit, Ben Uaine is one of two bright green mountains towering high above its surrounding plains. Treating the explorer to a beautiful contrast of orange and green, the martian-like soil of the planet's relatively flat surface is broken abruptly by these two green giants.

The taller of the two, Ben Uaine, rises 8,400 metres from the surrounding valley surface and is a difficult climb. Smaller ships will have an easier time of it by landing on several of the false summits around the pinnacle of this emerald giant.

With a gravity of 0.14g, enterprising commanders can chance launching an SRV off the summit and enjoying a scenic view down to the valley floor below.

With the Heart and Soul nebulae visible from this position, the 2MASS cluster of luminous blue stars nearby, and the 100% ammonia atmosphere of the planet casting a soft blue-green hue, the view from the summit of Ben Uaine is nothing short of remarkable.

Situated on the B 4 a moon, Ben Uaine is one of two bright green mountains towering high above its surrounding plains, tall enough to be visible from orbit. Treating the explorer to a beautiful contrast of orange and green, the martian-like soil of the planet's relatively flat surface is broken abruptly by these two green giants.

The taller of the two mountains, Ben Uaine, rises 8,400 metres above the surrounding valley. Climbing to its summit is difficult, but smaller ships will have an easier time of it: they can land on several of the "false summits" around the pinnacle of this emerald giant. As the surface gravity is only 0.14 g, taking an SRV up the mountainside is also an option... and maybe down from the summit as well.

The view above can be quite remarkable: the Heart and Soul nebulae are visible in the soft blue-green sky, and a cluster of luminous blue stars can also be seen.
