Celestial Hymn Galaxy

Our mission is to explore the Octavius Solar System located in the Celestial Hymn Galaxy. This galaxy is approximately 3.5 billion years old and contains over 8 hundred billion stars and just as many planets. It is 16 million light years from the Milky Way and contains four smaller galaxies--the Portuguese Clouds. We theorize that this galaxy was formed by rapidly spinning gases, as the gases were pulled into the center by gravity they condensed into stars. The remaining gases rotated around the center forming stars while planets and moons were created by the collision of remaining gases.

The Octavius Solar System

The two yellow stars (suns) are centers of two distinct solar systems: the Octavius Solar System in the foreground and the Nefertiti Solar System in the background. The Octavian sun is a G2 star (yellow greenish color) with temperatures of 5,500 (kelvin) degrees. It is composed of: 85% hydrogen, 13% helium, and 2% nitrogen, neon, silicon, nickel, and sulfur. It's mass is 90% that of Earth's sun.

The Octavius Solar System takes a long journey, 183 million years to complete its revolution around the center of the Celestial Hymn Galaxy. The 8 planets within the Octavius Solar System, Lush, Isla, Pixar, Kyrton, V-Ger, Zena, Ferl and Bork, have elliptical orbits around the sun.

Elliptical Orbits

All planets in the Octavius Solar System have elliptical orbits around the sun and move in a counterclockwise rotation. At some point Bork's orbit crosses the orbit of each planet in this solar system. This means that at some point, Bork, the outer most planet, will be closer to the sun than V-Ger, an inner planet.

The closest and fastest rotating planet around the sun is Lush taking 249 Earth days to complete its revolution while Bork, the farthest and slowest rotating planet, requires 1,497 Earth days to complete its revolution around the sun. Isla, the planet under investigation, takes 369 Earth days to complete its revolution around the sun.

Lush and Isla have liquid water while V-Ger has a rocky core surrounded by an ocean of carbon dioxide and nitrogen liquids. Pixar, Kyrton, Zena, Ferl and Bork are gas giants.

Only half of the planets have satellites: Lush, Isla, Kyrton, and Ferl.

Our mission is to explore Isla, the tropical planet, and her two moons, Alpha and Beta.

Isla

Isla is a tropical paradise with two sister moons, Alpha and Beta. We estimate that this planet was formed approximately 3.5 billion years ago. Isla is 1.2 Earth's mass with an orbital velocity of 26 (km/sec). A day is 26 Earth hours and a year is 369 Earth days. It is composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Isla receives one-millionth of the suns energy and has an inclination of 18 degrees towards its sun. 85% of the planet is water while 15% is land.

Only one continent exist, Praxia, which we believe was once several continents that collided to form one continent located at the equator. Isla is reminiscent of Hawaii: lush with an abundance of rainfall and warm weather year round.

Alpha

Isla has two moons, Alpha and Beta. Alpha, in the foreground, is the largest of the sister satellites. Beta, in the background, is a smaller replica of Alpha. Both moons are composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and sodium. Alpha's inclination of axis is 20 degrees towards its sun. The dark spots on Alpha are indications of volcanic activity, the majority of Alpha is vast plains and high mountains.
