DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
The arrival at Scheareou LI-H d11-27 is hair raising! The primary Class-A star has a companion orbiting at 1.5 million kilometers. The secondary binary has a Class-F with a Class-K orbiting at 1.2 million kilometers. Around the CD pair are binary landable planets, from which you can observe the spectacle. However, I would not recommend walking out on the surface as the temperature exceeds your suit's limits. Ian Poritt, a New Zealander amateur astronomer, was the first to discover a planet around a binary system. It was previous thought that binary systems would be too unstable to support a planet. A brief video tour of these binaries can be found here. | → | The arrival at Scheareou LI-H d11-27 can be dangerous: the primary Class A star has a companion orbiting it at a distance of 1.5 million kilometers. The second binary pair consists of a Class F and a Class K star, orbiting at 1.2 million kilometers. Around the second pair are binary landable planets, from which you can observe the spectacle. However, exercise caution when disembarking: the surface temperatures exceed what current spacesuits can tolerate. The system is named after Ian Poritt, a New Zealander amateur astronomer, who was the first to discover a planet around a binary system.
