Vernier System - Post 4 (Alien Skies)

While exploring the Vernier System, I took a few shots at the skies of some of the planet’s and the moons.

Triangulum Log - Post 2 - The Outskirts

More pics of the system. Notice the lack of stars in the background. The system being a runaway star, is quickly escaping the galaxy. The nearest stars are more than 1,000 light years away. Interesting enough in this system, while the major planets orbit the system’s common center of mass, a dense asteroid belt and 3 dwarf planets directly orbit the system’s black hole. The dwarf planets and asteroids likely formed out of some of the remaining debris from the supernova that created the black hole.

The last two pics are a massive red moon orbiting the systems 7th planet. The moon has a very Mars-like feel to it.

Gas giant with vivid violet rings.

Like the gaping mouth of a gigantic celestial creature, the cometary globule CG4 glows menacingly in this image from ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Although it looks huge and bright in this image it is actually a faint nebula and not easy to observe. The exact nature of CG4 remains a mystery.
