DESCRIPTION

This Green Gas Giant was the 61st to be discovered, the second one that's a Sudarsky Class IV, and the first one to be found in a heavy proto-star system. The primary star there is a Herbig Ae/Be class, and is only two million years old. This means that this Green Gas Giant is by far the youngest discovered, at the time of its discovery.

It is also one of the visually impressive ones, as it features wide bands of vivid green clouds. The systems also contains 11 stars, although only the primary star is a Herbig Ae/Be: the rest are mostly T-Tauri protostars, and three class B stars. A few planets have already formed in the system, and two of them are landable. The green gas giant has no moons of its own though.

George Herbig was a 20th century astronomer, who researched the interstellar medium and stars at early stages of evolution. The Herbig Ae/Be stars which were named after him are young pre-main-sequence stars, still in the process of star formation.

(The closest is Rhadamanthus's Eye, which is 110 million years old.)

Herbig's Lantern is also one of the visually impressive green gas giants, as it features wide bands of vividly colored clouds. The systems also contains 11 stars, although only the primary star is a Herbig Ae/Be: the rest are mostly T-Tauri protostars, and three class B stars. A few planets have already formed in the system, and two of them are landable. The green gas giant has no moons of its own though.
