| SUMMARY | ||
| A close-orbiting moon with ring proximity experiencing regular eclipses | → | A close-orbiting moon that's also close to its parent gas giant's rings, experiencing regular eclipses. |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
Byae Aip GW-N d6-10 5 a orbits a mere 1,349 km from its parent gas giant, and is only 110 km from its ring. The lack of inclination of the parent Class III gas giant guarantees a spectacular eclipse every 0.8 days. The moon was named after Aryabhata (476–550), an Indian mathematician who explained eclipses and posited that the light of the Moon and the other planets was from them reflecting the Sun's light.
A video of this system can be viewed here. This star system sports 44 bodies, which include:
