Insight A System - Ninth Planet (Insight A-IX)

Insight A-IX is the Insight A systems second largest and second most massive planet. It is an ice giant 17.40 times more massive than Earth, and has a radius of 3.28 Earth Radii. The planet is surrounded by a narrow yet well structured ring system, and a system of 6 small ellipsoidal satellites.

The planet orbits it’s sun at an average distance of 7.34 AU, completing 1 orbit every 18.35 Years. A day on the planet lasts just 9 hours and 6 minutes. The planet has a thick hydrogen/ helium atmosphere, and has an average atmospheric temperature of -279 F.

I’ve decided to move closer to home and am now exploring the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy. You’ll see in numerous pictures the Milky Way in the background covering almost a quarter of the sky in some locations

First picture from the new galaxy a ringed ice-giant with a colorful ring system.

We really do have some weird moons in our solar system!

Earth-Like World

Picture of the Day 2 - October 16, 2018

Here I come across the most Earth-like planet to date. The planet is covered in green vegetation, blue oceans and ice caps at the poles. This planet is located near the galactic core; therefore, the sky is full of bright stars, even more so than globular clusters.

Tidally locked desert-like world with green vegetation growing between the hellishly hot day-side desert, and the endless ice of the night side.

First pictures from the M59 galaxy. Here I come across a 7 planet system orbiting an orange giant. All the planets in this system are experiencing the effects of the expanding sun, and orbit relatively close to the sun. The outer-most ice giant orbits just 3.62 AU from the sun.

I just unfortunately found out that Tumblr does not allow posts with links in them to show up on searches. This is very problematic for me since I like posting 4K resolution pics on here. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep Tumblr from reducing image sizes so I do not have to add links to my posts?

These three planets (not comets) close to a white giant star losing their atmospheres. The giant star has expanded so fast that all of the inner planets are superheated to nearly 2,000 F.
