DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
→ | A planetary nebula about 9,000 light-years from Sagittarius A* is home to a bright red and green colors and, surprisingly, an Earth-like world about 2,500 light-seconds from the supernova remnant at the center of the system. The remnant is a 2.2-solar-mass neutron star with an age of about 280 million years. Three planets orbit the star, only one of which is what a visitor might expect: a scorched world with a surface temperature of about 1,600°C and a crushing atmosphere of silicate vapour. Orbiting this low-albedo world is a pristine Earth-like world with a thin atmosphere and 0.63-Earth-normal gravity. The average surface temperature on this anomalous world is a relatively balmy 5°C. The final world in the system is a water world with a thick atmosphere and gravity about three times Earth-normal. There are no landable worlds in the nebula itself. However, the galactic neighborhood is densely populated, and the nebula dominates the view from nearby Oephaird CF-A e8085, where travelers can find roseum bioluminescent anemonae growing on the ringed Body 6. | |
