SUMMARY | ||
→ | A close binary planet system with one planet having Taylor Rings. Incredibly, orbiting the ringed body are a total of four moons, 2 in binary themselves and another with a highly inclined orbit. | |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
→ | Kepler's Fantasy is a close planetary binary system where each planet completes an orbit in half a day. Body 1 is the largest of the two and has a Taylor Ring system, which is only 2,080 km wide. What is peculiar about this system however are the four moons that orbit the ringed planet. A Taylor Ring system having at least one moon is rare enough, but four is incredibly rare, considering how close Taylor Ringed-binaries usually are. Moons 1 a and 1 b are a binary pair, its barycentre practically hugging the rings, itself orbiting the planet in X hours (wait pls) Moon 1 c orbits just beyond the orbital path of 1 a & 1 b, passing by every so often. Moon 1 d is noticeably larger in diameter than the inner moons. Although its orbital distance is still close to the inner moons, its orbital path is significantly inclined at -44.38°. 1 d, as well as Body 2 in this system, are great spots to view the entire moon system from above. | |
