  SOLAR SYSTEM - written by surveyor DAN
Osiris, the second of two planets in the Dynasty 18 star system, lies 46 light years from Earth. One moon, Horace, orbits Osiris. Horace is a barren, lifeless planetoid that appears as a dull, brown sphere slightly smaller than Earth's moon.
sol.gif (2477 bytes) The inner planet, Isis, lies inside the life zone and is too close to the sun. Both planets cooled at the same rate, making their geological age the same.

Scientists also speculate that there may have been a third planet which revolved outside Osiris' orbit. Solar theorists hypothesize that the hundred or so smaller meteor-like rocks found in the outskirts of the Dynasty 18 system are evidence of this third planet  which collided with  another large planetoid and was pulled out of its orbit.

GREATER OSIRIS CRATER

 Geologists also believe that the creation of the Greater Osiris Crater, the largest land form on Osiris, may have been caused by this solar catastrophe millions of years ago.
Shu is a G2 star. Its mass is1.26, and it emits  a wondrous gold, burgundy and reddish radiation due to its size. shu.gif (28694 bytes)

 

Below is a table of planetary facts about Osiris.  

Mass .9 (Earth = 1)
Diameter 6,255 million kilometers
Distance from Sun 1.2 AU (astronomical units) Earth = 1AU
Obliquity 20 (Earth = 23)
Year 480 days
Day 30 hours

A planet's obliquity is the angle between a planet's equator and the plane of its orbit about the sun.  

The planet has a breathable atmosphere and it does not contain any poisonous gasses like chlorine or fluorine which would make it uninhabitable. It is a sight to behold!

solmoon.jpg (1885 bytes) Horace is the only moon that orbits Osiris. There is no breathable atmosphere and no water. Its high iron content causes it to glow with a dull brown light. Its orbital period is 60 days; it has a mass of 0.4.
