Summary: A gas giant with a moon so close to the rings that they enter the moons orbital cruise zone, offering stunning views from the surface and curious gravitational effects from orbit. | |
Description: Schee Eaec DY-C b5-0 1 a offers some remarkable features due to its close proximity to its parent gas giant's icy rings, which extend into the moon's orbital cruise zone. From the moon's surface, one can observe the rings slowly rotating, though in truth they are moving impossibly fast. The individual icy mineral formations that make up the rings can be seen even by the naked eye. The rings appear to be so close that one could be forgiven for imagining that they could reach out and touch the very edge. View a video of the rotation as seen from the surface. Due to the gravitational forces at play, dropping out of supercruise near the rings while still in the orbital cruise range of the moon often results in the pilot remaining in the moon's gravity well. At this distance, this causes the rings to pass by remarkably fast, as can be seen in this video footage. However, if the pilot manages to enter the rings' gravitational pull, they will be treated to the sight of the moon rotating and orbiting past at an atypically quick rate. The rings of the parent gas giant contain several mining hotspots which include a variety of Void Opals, Grandidierite, Alexandrite, and even Tritium. | |
