SUMMARY
Just a small moon, very close to GGs rings, moving pretty fast around them.	→	A small moon (6 a) close to a gas giant's rings (744 km away), on a fast orbit.
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. 2. 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. Link to recordings and info. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14sV0e42k1LxwheuhBtDi8j8m_ngQwlLK?usp=sharing	→	A small moon orbiting a gas giant only 744 km from its rings. It has a rather fast orbit, at 0.9 days. The two combined mean that individual asteroids can be seen, and the sight is like a river flowing through the sky. The moon has a surface gravity of only 0.04 g, and geological activity means there are water geysers. Although the close distance to the rings might tempt Commanders to get inside an SRV and launch towards them, the Galactic Exploration Catalog's legal department advises against attempting this. According to the moon's discoverer, to get the best view, it's prudent to slope at an angle of about 70° towards the rings.
