SUMMARY
The northern-most Green Gas Giant discovered, in the Acheron region. Unfortunately there is no green visible in the surface cloud layers.
DESCRIPTION

The Green Aspirant is a ringed Class I Green Gas Giant in Acheron. Despite its classification, there is no fluorescent green in its surface cloud layers, instead it boasts major maroon discoloration on both of its poles, and in some storm clouds spotting its equatorial regions. Perhaps the gas giant has a cycle where its bioluminescent radioplankton are exchanged from deep below the surface layers and back, explaining the lack of surface green. The mechanisms responsible for this cycle are not known.

Poles

There is also something visually impressive among the planet's moon system. The closest 4 moons are split into 2 binary orbital configurations, and the difference of the barycenters' orbital distances are not that much, so that when they pass by one another, they will be easily visible in the sky.

Discolored storm clouds
