A close-orbiting moon with ring proximity experiencing regular eclipsesA close-orbiting moon with ring proximity experiencing regular eclipses
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.

This star system sports 44 bodies that includes:

  • a small Water Giant.
  • a Class IV gas giant is unsurprisingly draped with a wide ring.
  • a close and fast orbiting pair of moons.
  • a variety of metal rich and high metal content worlds.
