Twin Sunrise On A Mercury-like Planet.

Pictures of the Day - November 7, 2018

Another Earth-Like world I have come across in the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy. This one has two moons and a rather cold surface with lots of ice covered mountains.

Triangulum Log - Post 3 - The Vista System

We’ve moved away from the last system and traveled nearly 13,000 light years to another system on the edge of Triangulum.

Here we come across a system which I have called the Vista system, due to some of the stunning views of gas giants and their moons.

This system is configured rather unusually, in that the asteroid belt forms the inner-most part of the system, orbiting close to the star with a single dwarf planet orbiting within. Above are pics of the inner-most dwarf planet.

This moon-sized world orbits 0.13 AU from the sun, with a scorching surface temperature of 760°.

More pics of worlds in this system to come.

An ocean world with a small ring system hangs over the sky of a barren moon.

Vernier System - Post 3 (4th Planet)

The system’s 4th plant. This planet is a super-Earth orbiting the two suns at an average distance of 3.79 AU. At 4.66 Earth masses and a radius of 1.71 Earth’s the planet is quite large and massive compared to Earth. It has a hydrocarbon rich atmosphere and an average surface temperature of 187 K or -122 °F. 3 large satellites orbit the planet. The surface show evidence of numerous large impact events.

The plant’s large moons orbit close to the planet and are capable of producing double eclipses, a phenomenon only possible in star systems with more than 1 sun.

These will be the last pics from the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy. I will have my next galaxy picked out soon.

Best shot yet of a river valley I have found, taken on an Earth-like world. The planet has a unique yellow-colored atmosphere.

Blog Changes

I have decided to try a different direction with this blog and instead of posting a whole bunch of pics of single systems, I am going to start posting a pic of a new world every day. That way its frees me to to explore more systems and find really stunning worlds.
