Insight A System - Seventh Planet (Insight A-VII)

Insight A-VII is a cold super-Earth and largest rocky planet orbiting Insight A. The planet has a mass of 3.10 Earths, and a diameter 53% larger than Earth. It orbit’s its sun at an average distance of 1.97 AU, completing an orbit once every 2.55 years. A day lasts only 13 hours and 20 minutes.

The surface is covered in a carbon dioxide atmosphere with a surface pressure of 1.73 atmospheres, and an average surface temperature of -105 F. The atmosphere is extremely cloudy with clouds of water-ice and dry ice. An extensive system of rings orbit’s the planet, and a large moon.

Triangulum Log - Vernier System.

We’ve gone deeper into the Triangulum System and come across this binary system. The system consists of a hot F-Type Star 3.1 times brighter than our sun, orbited by a much less luminous K-Type Star only a fifth the brightness of our sun. The system has 6 planet’s including the most earth-like planet I’ve come across yet.

The Inner-most planet is a warm Ice-Giant with 53 earth masses and atmosphere temperatures of 378 K or 221 °F, orbiting the common center of mass of the two suns at a distance of 0.78 AU. The atmosphere of the planet is extremely turbulent under the intense sun-light. Wind speeds reach up to 1,100 kilometers per hour and cyclonic systems churn across the equator.

The second planet is Earth-like planet roughly 0.20 Earth masses, and radius 0.60 times that of Earth. Liquid water oceans cover a small portion of the surface. The planet is more desert-like than Earth, with water covering less than 15% of the surface. The atmosphere has only 0.15 atmosphere’s of pressure and has an unusual composition. Carbon dioxide comprises 84.4% of the atmosphere mixed with 13.1% Acetylene and 1.3% sulfur dioxide. The acetylene is stable in the atmosphere due to there being no oxygen; however, ultraviolet light natural breaks the compound down, forming Tholins in the atmosphere, giving the atmosphere a thick haze. Surface temperatures average 320 K or 116 °F. The planet has no polar ice-caps and orbits 1.25 AU from the stars. Several asteroid-sized moons orbit the planet along with larger rounded satellite that has a radios of 374 km.

Normally, giant planets are the ones with rings, but in some situations a moon of a gas giant can have its own rings. Here we come across such a satellite.
