SUMMARY
Just a small moon, very close to GGs rings, moving pretty fast around them.
DESCRIPTION

Lost Ring River

Location: Athaiwyg NQ-W b5-1 Body: 6A

A small moon orbiting a Blue Gas Giant only 744km from its rings.
It has a pretty fast orbit(0.9 D) making the rings move and fold like a river would. (The planet is clearly moving from the moment you approach it) At some point of the orbit, the planet goes thru the shadow of the Gas Giant, making the rings significantly darker giving that "river" a dark face.

It's worth noting: 1. To get the best view, it's prudent to slope at an angle of about 70° towards the rings.

  1. Planet has water geysers! And only 0.04G gravity...
    Rings only 744km away? Geysers? SRV safely inside a hangar bay?
    You know where im getting.
