SUMMARY | ||
5 Helium Rich Gas Giants looming across the sky, suspended in silent motion. | → | A gas giant with orbited by six Helium-Rich Gas Giants as its moons, with two nested moons that are also landable, with excellent views of the giants from their surfaces. |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
Tucked away in the orbital complexity of this distant system lies a serene moonlet—small, barren, but graced with one of the most breathtaking celestial panoramas in the known galaxy. From its surface, a patient observer can behold a cosmic ballet: five vast Helium Rich Gas Giants looming across the sky, suspended in silent motion. These giants, each majestic in hue and banded glory, form a layered vista—nested orbs of color and light that evoke both awe and peace. The name “Nested Wonders” speaks to the unique gravitational hierarchy of the place: a moon around a moon, within a family of giants, each nested like celestial matryoshka dolls. Pilgrims, photographers, and dreamers alike may find in this spot a moment of stillness, a reminder of the elegance hidden in orbital chaos. | → | The highlight of this high metallicity star system is its eighth planet, a ringed Helium-Rich Gas Giant that has as its moon six other Helium-Rich Gas giants. The sight of these giant moons dancing around their parent planet is already remarkable, but Commanders can witness this not just from their spacecraft in orbit, but also landed on the ground: there are two nested moons (8 b a and 8 f a) which are both icy bodies. Explorers can land on these nested moons' surfaces, and keep watch from the ground on how the gas giants go through their cosmic dances in the sky. WIP: another surface photo would be good here The name "Nested Wonders" refers to the orbital hierarchy of this place: moons around moons, within a family of giants, each nested like celestial Matryoshka dolls. To quote what the discoverer wrote in his journal: "I landed expecting a data point. I left with a picture for my cockpit's wall." |
