| A landable metal-rich moon in a binary pair with a ringed hellish red-glowing metal-rich world. | → | A landable metal-rich moon in a binary pair with a ringed hellish red-glowing metal-rich world. |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
The main star of this system is orbited by a hellish ringed metal-rich world with vast oceans of molten rock, which forms a close binary pair with another metal-rich planet. The ring is tilted by about 25 degrees in relation to the equator of its parent, which might be the result of the combined gravitational influences of the nearby main star (which is ~14.2 ls away) and the smaller planet of the binary, shifting the bigger planet's axial tilt to roughly match that of its companion while shifting the inclination of its ring system's orbit in a different way. Whatever the cause might have been, this provides great views of the ring from the surface of the smaller planet. View from the surface:

Whatever the cause might have been, this provides great views of the ring from the surface of the smaller planet. From here, the ring looks like a gateway to the underworld similar to Helgrind in Norse mythology. View from the surface:
