Another Moon Shot

Inner Clouds

Picture of the day - November 12, 2018

Inner planets orbiting close to the sun are losing their atmosphere’s at a rapid rate generating a large gas cloud in this system. The gas is thick enough to glow from the illumination of the sun, shrouding the star from the view of the outer planets.

It is likely that other solar systems with hot gas and ice giants have an appearance similar when viewed from orbiting distant planets. The small cloud visible to the left is the Small Magellanic Cloud Galaxy.

I have to admit, this planet is probably to closest reminder to me of Christmas. This purple-colored Earth with violet seas and a deep purple atmosphere is quite unique. Whats even more fascinating about the planet is its brilliant green sunsets and sunrises.

I've decided to travel back home in Space Engine.

Earth and the Moon.

Triangulum Log - Vernier System.

We’ve gone deeper into the Triangulum System and come across this binary system. The system consists of a hot F-Type Star 3.1 times brighter than our sun, orbited by a much less luminous K-Type Star only a fifth the brightness of our sun. The system has 6 planet’s including the most earth-like planet I’ve come across yet.

The Inner-most planet is a warm Ice-Giant with 53 earth masses and atmosphere temperatures of 378 K or 221 °F, orbiting the common center of mass of the two suns at a distance of 0.78 AU. The atmosphere of the planet is extremely turbulent under the intense sun-light. Wind speeds reach up to 1,100 kilometers per hour and cyclonic systems churn across the equator.

The second planet is Earth-like planet roughly 0.20 Earth masses, and radius 0.60 times that of Earth. Liquid water oceans cover a small portion of the surface. The planet is more desert-like than Earth, with water covering less than 15% of the surface. The atmosphere has only 0.15 atmosphere’s of pressure and has an unusual composition. Carbon dioxide comprises 84.4% of the atmosphere mixed with 13.1% Acetylene and 1.3% sulfur dioxide. The acetylene is stable in the atmosphere due to there being no oxygen; however, ultraviolet light natural breaks the compound down, forming Tholins in the atmosphere, giving the atmosphere a thick haze. Surface temperatures average 320 K or 116 °F. The planet has no polar ice-caps and orbits 1.25 AU from the stars. Several asteroid-sized moons orbit the planet along with larger rounded satellite that has a radios of 374 km.
