| 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. | → | A close binary planet system with a planet having narrow 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. The first two moons (1 a and 1 b) are a binary pair, its barycentre practically hugging the rings, itself orbiting the planet in 3.12 hours.
The third moon (1 c) orbits just beyond the orbital path of the other two, passing by them every so often.
The fourth 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°. The surface of this moon is a great spot to view the entire moon system from above, and the second planet is also a good place to view it from.

Such ring systems are famous for being extremely small in width, sometimes not being noticeable until final approach to a planet. This particular ring system is only 2,080 km wide.
