Galaxy looms large behind the rings of a gas giant.
Here we come across the smaller component of a double planetary system, being the 9 and 10th planets from the star. This planet is by far the most visually stunning world I have come across in the 6 months of playing space engine.
The world is roughly the same size as Earth, but only 0.58 times the mass. The surface is covered in liquid nitrogen oceans and nitrogen ice-caps. The planet has a surface temperature of 68 K or -337 °F. The atmosphere is composed of nitrogen and argon with a surface pressure of 0.095 atmospheres. The surface has a nitrogen cycle, much the same as Earth has a water cycle.

A dark Nebula hangs over the sky of an airless moon.
Note: There will be one last set of pics posted for the Triangulum Galaxy this evening before I visit another galaxy to begin exploring.

I have to admit, this planet is probably to closest reminder to me of Christmas. This purple-colored Earth with violet seas and a deep purple atmosphere is quite unique. Whats even more fascinating about the planet is its brilliant green sunsets and sunrises.

Another gas-giant and its moons. Here the atmosphere of the gas giant and its inner moon glow against the dark background, illuminated by scattered light, viewed from just above the atmosphere of a second satellite.
