Summary:

Two moons in a close binary orbit, around a brown dwarf star that orbits an F-type star.

 
Description:

This system is found along the usual way to Beagle Point, and explorers who are traveling there make a stop here to admire two closely orbiting binary moons, 10 b and 10 c. They are only 11 Mm apart, and one of the two moons is landable, with surface life and volcanism present on its surface. They were discovered during the Philairone Experience expedition, still underway at the time of writing.

Zephyr and Boreas are the nicknames for the moons chosen by their discoverer, after two wind gods from ancient Greek mythology. There are several different stories about them, with the common theme being their love for Anemone, a beautiful nymph who was turned into a flower - in some stories, out of jealousy, in others, for protection.

These two moons are 10 b and 10 c. As mentioned before, only the 10 b moon can be landed on, but it has both life and volcanism on its surface. The species found here are Stratum Cucumisis (Emerald) and Bacterium Cerbrus (Lime). The surface volcanism features fumaroles, lava flows, and volcanic vents, as well as volcanic areas typically containing sulfur, which helps explain the high mineral content of the atmosphere.

Explorers who are patient enough to wait for both stars (the system's primary F star, and the brown dwarf star) to rise can find some scenic views to admire, and good opportunities for some photography.
