Hey Tumblr!
I have started a new blog to share the joys of fishing and kayaking! This post is all about the best cheap kayaks for under 200 dollars. I hope some of you who are interested can find more about kayaking and fishing! Either way, it’s worth a read if you have a minute. It might just save you a few hundred dollars down the road.

Red Giant

A scorched plant and its moon orbiting a bloated Red Giant. Both of these worlds orbit the star at twice the distance Neptune orbits from the sun, yet have surface temperatures of more than 1,200 °F.

Another Earth-Like world I have come across in the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy. This one has two moons and a rather cold surface with lots of ice covered mountains.

Glowing Sky
Picture of the Day 2 - November 4, 2018
Auroras glow brilliantly over a lunar sky with the Milky way Galaxy looming large.
Purple Skies
Picture of the Day - November 4, 2018
The surface of a large moon orbiting a gas giant that has an unusual purple-tinted atmosphere. The moon has diatomic sulfur in the upper atmosphere producing the purple hue.
Green World

Lush and green Earth-like planet with life and a large moon orbiting close by.
Another Moon Shot

A large moon against the backdrop of a stunningly colorful gas giant and it’s rings.
Busy & Hazy Sky
Picture of the Day 2 - October 23, 2018
Another beautiful aurora shot, looking towards a gas giant under a hazy atmosphere. The Andromeda galaxy is visible to the right of the picture as a hazy bright spot just below the aurora.
The Andromeda Galaxy will be the next galaxy I will be exploring in space engine beginning next month.
Lunar Silhouettes

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.
Lunar Rings
Pictures of the Day - October 21, 2018
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.
Cold Blue World
Picture of the Day 2 - October 19, 2019
Large hazy blue world rising about an asteroid moon.

Vernier System - Post 2 (Third Planet and its moons)
Here we come across the system’s third planet, a Jupiter-Sized gas giant 1.18 Jupiter Masses orbiting the two suns at an average distance of 2.33 AU. Four massive moon’s all with atmospheres orbit’s the giant. The planet has a very faint ring system in orbit.
High Resolution Pic of the 3rd Planet
Note, the large red nebula in the background NGC 604, one of the largest know nebulas. The Vernier System is located 4,600 light years from the nebula. From here NGC 604 covers over 16 arc degrees of the sky (36 Full-moons), and shines with an average magnitude of -1.91.
The first moon is barren with a surface covered in craters and gray-colored regolith. It is 3.4 lunar masses, with a radius of 2,603.31 km. A thin sulfur dioxide atmosphere clings to the surface. The atmosphere has a very low surface pressure of 0.0001 atmosphere’s. The moon still appears to be volcanically active.
High Resolution Pic of the 1st moon
The second moon has 4 lunar masses with a radius of 2,956.36 kilometers. It’s surface is more geologically diverse with larger quantities of iron oxide. It is more Mars-like than Lunar-like. A sulfur dioxide atmosphere also covers the surface, but is thicker with a surface pressure of 0.017 atmospheres, or roughly just under 3 times thicker than the atmosphere of Mars.
High Resolution Pic of the 2nd moon
The third satellite is by far the largest, and is an Earth-sized moon with a mass of 0.56 Earth’s and a radius 93% that of Earth. It has a thick carbon dioxide-ammonia atmosphere, with a surface pressure 3.48 times that of Earth. Weather is very active on the surface, and the temperature averaging 230 K (-45 °F) supports liquid sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide rain is also common on the surface. The satellite also appears to have a magnetic field.
High Resolution Pic of the 3rd moon
The fourth moon is a second largest with a mass of 0.07 times that of Earth and a radius of 3,274.23 kilometers. It also has a thin sulfur dioxide atmosphere, and sulfur dioxide ice-caps. The atmosphere is 0.017 atmosphere’s thick.

The System Tag for this system in Spaceengine is RS 1229-169-6-235375-219.
