| SUMMARY | ||
| → | A close pair of "potato" moons with varied biology and geology, and spectacular views. | |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | Below the Thueche Brahe Nebula, and almost 1600 Ly below the galactic plane, sits this - at first glance mundane - system. One world draws the explorer's attention - ABC 2 b ("Maris"), with 6 biosigns and 3 geosigns under an ammonia atmosphere. Viewed from its close companion moon ("Piper"), the atmosphere glows pale green and the irregular potato-shape is apparent.
Those who travel this far may may well find their path takes them via the nearby neutron star Thueche BF-A e0, parent to 3 directly-orbiting water worlds, and worthy of a brief side trip if not a transgalactic digression. | |
