Insight A System - Ninth Planet (Insight A-IX)

Insight A-IX is the Insight A systems second largest and second most massive planet. It is an ice giant 17.40 times more massive than Earth, and has a radius of 3.28 Earth Radii. The planet is surrounded by a narrow yet well structured ring system, and a system of 6 small ellipsoidal satellites.

The planet orbits it’s sun at an average distance of 7.34 AU, completing 1 orbit every 18.35 Years. A day on the planet lasts just 9 hours and 6 minutes. The planet has a thick hydrogen/ helium atmosphere, and has an average atmospheric temperature of -279 F.

Triangulum Log - Post 1 - The Outskirts.

My first adventure brings us to this Yellow Super Giant and companion black hole. The system is young and filled with many gas giants that still glow with the heat of their formation.

All of the planets orbit far from the star, the nearest having a orbital radius of 10.57 AU. Numerous planets are also double planets including a double Jupiter as shown above.

More pics of this system and my thoughts on if this system could actually exist in the real universe to come.

Three different desert worlds orbiting a bright red dwarf with surface shots. The star is roughly 10% the brightness of the sun, about as bright as you can get for a red dwarf. A common misconception is that red dwarfs are actually red in color. This is true only for the smaller dim ones, but most have a more orange to red-orange tint to them.

Unfortunately, I already left the system long before I could log the system ID.
