DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
→ | Aryabhata (476–550) was an Indian mathematician who explained eclipses and posited that planetary albedo was the reflecting of the sun's light. Byae Aip GW-N d6-10 5 a orbits a mere 1,349 km from it's parent gas giant, and is only 110 km from it's ring. The lack of inclination of the parent Class III gas giant guarantees a spectacular eclipse every 0.8 days. A video of this system can be viewed here. This star system sports 44 bodies that includes:
