| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | The third body in the Gru Drye LX-A d1-41 system is a gas giant with water-based life and two moons. The moon (3 a) is only 155 km away from the giant’s rings. Due to this proximity, one can observe asteroids moving across the rings from the planet’s surface. The gas giant has two rocky rings; the largest of them has an outer radius of 206,730 km and an inner radius of 115,230 km. The moon has volcanism (Major Silicate Vapour Geysers) and a gravity of only 0.11 G. Additionally, this tidally locked moon has a rotation period of 0.7 days. Because of this, one can observe how the moon quickly orbits the rings of its parent planet. | |
