| → | A moon that passes very close to its parent's rings and has a nearly perpendicular orbit. | |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | This peculiar moon is beneath the galaxy and about 6 thousand light-years north of the core. It orbits nearly perpendicularly relative to its parent's rings and at its closest is mere kilometers from touching them. Due to the moon's fast orbit, one can witness this event once every 10 hours or so. Even if one were to arrive just after its close approach, they would find spectacular views of the gas giants and other nearby bodies. The moon itself has large canyon systems and significant geological activity making for a very scenic location. | |
