| SUMMARY | ||
| → | A tidally-locked ringed Earthlike world with two landable trojan moons. | |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | This planet orbits an M class dwarf in 51.6 days. Also, more peculiarly, this system happens to be helium-rich, with a measured helium content of 30.24%. Finding an Earthlike world is much less common in helium-rich systems. High helium% here might explain the next oddity for this planet, its two icy moons.
These two share an orbital path around the Earthlike world with a period of 2.9 days. Their masses are slightly different, the 1 a body being 0.0007 Earth Masses and the 1 b body being 0.0005, so they will eventually meet. However, their different orbital speeds are practically negligible in the span of a human lifetime; There will not be a collision for more than a century at least.
The moons are surprisingly not tidally locked to their parent planet, body 1 a having a retrograde rotation of 7 days, body 1 b having a prograde rotation of the same length.
