SUMMARY | ||
A ringed, landable terraforming candidate planet provides a nice view of a 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 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. | → | 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.
