SUMMARY | ||
A ringed, landable terraforming candidate provides overviews of a twin Class-III gas giant and its rings. | → | A ringed, landable terraforming candidate planet provides a nice view of a Class III gas giant and its rings. |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
Spasau FM-T d4-0 5 is twinned with a Class-III gas giant whose rings can be seen through the thin Carbon Dioxide atmosphere. This terraforming candidate is a volcanically active High Metal Content world with its own ring. The atmosphere and the combination of rings makes for a scenic stop off for any CMDRs on a galactic circumnavigation. A short video can be found here The inner ring of the Class-III twin is a metallic ring containing two platinum hotspots among others, providing opportunities for deep space mining. Both worlds have landable moons. Of moderate interest is the presence of a Water Giant in the system. The system is named after Christiaan Huygens, the first person to propose that rings surrounded a planet. The Sagittarius-Carina Arm is one of the least explored regions of the Galaxy, and the Five Regions expedition is looking to discover POI to encourage other explorers and visitors to this region. | → | Spasau FM-T d4-0 5 is paired with a Class III gas giant whose rings can be seen through the planet's thin Carbon Dioxide atmosphere. This terraforming candidate is a volcanically active High Metal Content world with its own ring. The atmosphere and the combination of rings makes for a scenic stop off for any CMDRs on a galactic circumnavigation. A short video can be found here. The inner ring of the gas giant is a metallic ring containing a number of mining hotstops, two of which contain platinum, providing opportunities for deep space mining. Both worlds have landable moons of their own. In addition, there is also a Water Giant in the system. The system is named after Christiaan Huygens, a famous scientist from the 17th century, who was the first person to propose that Saturn was surrounded by a ring. Galileo Galilei was the first to observe them, but he thought what he saw where two large moons, or ellipses. Three decades later, Huygens built a better refractor and described Saturn's rings with it more accurately - as well as discovering Titan, the giant's largest moon. |
