DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
One of the rare glowing green gas giants. A lot of "firsts" for this GGG: it's the first Class I GGG found and thus the first to combine fluoro green with mauve and beige. It's also the first found orbiting a neutron star. At 129 K, it held the record for the coldest GGG found for a long time, although it lost this status later. It has also got the smallest percentage of its surface coloured green of any of the GGGs, with just a few small green storms on the equator. But, it's still clearly "glowing" green, and thus clearly qualifying for the list. However, it's position 10,000 LYs out along the Perseus Arm, means that it is less likely to be visited than the ones that are closer to the Colonia Road, but it's certainly a worthwhile scenic detour for galactic circumnavigators. | → | This system houses only three bodies: a neutron star, an icy planet, and one of the extremely rare green gas giants. This particular one had a lot of "firsts" going for it: it was the first Class I green gas giant found, and thus the first to combine the fluorescent green colour with mauve and beige. It's also the first one found orbiting a neutron star. With a surface temperature of 129 K, it held the record for the coldest green gas giant found for a long time, although it lost this status later. The gas giant has a number of bioluminescent clouds visible along its equator. While it's not as extensively covered in green as a number of other similar gas giants, it is still easily distinguishable, even from the system map. However, this system's position at 10,000 ly South-East from the bubble means that it is less likely to be visited than the ones that are closer to more frequented routes. Still, one can continue on to the Skull and Crossbones nebula, about 5,000 ly farther from here, and perhaps farther out to the Outer Arm and the galactic edge. |
