SUMMARY | ||
A shepherd moon of a gas giant that orbits close to its parent's rings, the minimum distance from the surface to the rings is 122 kilometers. | → | A shepherd moon of a gas giant that orbits close to its parent's rings, the distance from the surface to the rings is 122 kilometers. |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
The 5 a moon in this system is a shepherd moon around a blue class I gas giant with icy rings. The distance from the planet's surface to the edge of the rings is only 122 kilometers.
The orbital period of the moon is only 0.9 days, so an observer can watch it in real time as it goes on its way around the gas giant. In addition, the rings are so close to the surface that individual asteroids can be distinguished, and their movement can be seen. It also doesn't take long to fly from the surface to the asteroids without entering supercruise. | → |
