SUMMARY
Two planets in an extremely close binary orbit, almost touching. They orbit a brown dwarf and an F-type star. Suggestive scenarios with exobiological and geological features.Two planets in an extremely close binary orbit, almost touching. They orbit a brown dwarf and an F-type star. Suggestive scenarios with exobiological and geological features.
DESCRIPTION

On the way to Beagle Point, in an area of the galaxy rich in exobiology, you can stop to admire these two planets, so close they almost seem to collide. They are only 11 Mm apart, and they were discovered during the Philairone Experience Expedition, which is still underway at the time of writing.

These are planets 10C and 10B. It's possible to land on the latter and collect exobiologies, particularly Stratum cucumisis emerald and Bacterium cerbrus lime. The surface also features fumaroles, lava flows, and vents, as well as volcanic areas typically containing sulfur, which explains the high mineral content in the atmosphere and soil.

If you are lucky or patient enough to wait for both stars (an F-class and a brown dwarf) to rise, you will be able to admire views that justify a visit to this planet for some photography.

On the way to Beagle Point, in an area of the galaxy rich in exobiology, you can stop to admire these two planets, so close they almost seem to collide. They are only 11Mm apart, their small orbits nearly overlap, and thus they are almost in resonance. They were discovered during the Philairone Experience expedition, still underway at the time of writing.

Zephyr and Boreas are the names chosen for the two planets by the discoverer, who compete for their orbits like the two winds of classical mythology competed, in an eternal dance, for the nymph Anemone.

These are planets 10B and 10C. Only the first of these two can be landed on, collecting exobiologies, specifically Stratum cucumisis emerald and Bacterium cerbrus lime. The surface also features fumaroles, lava flows, and volcanic vents, as well as volcanic areas typically containing sulfur, which explains the high mineral content of the atmosphere.

If you are lucky or patient enough to wait for both stars (an F-class and a brown dwarf) to rise, you will be able to admire views that justify a visit to this planet for some photography.
