Tidal-locked twin ammonia worlds!

I would assume that finding twins is quite rare:

And here is Number 2:

And a selfie with both ammonia worlds, for bragging rights :D

Ooh.. pretty.. (or gooey and possibly double the amount of Thargoids, depending on your opinion on Ammonia Worlds)...
I have found binary Earth Likes.. but never binary AWs.... you should celebrate! :)

I did not quite realize the egg shapes when I took the screen shot, sorry.... [rolleyes]

But heh, if somebody passes by in the neigborhood, they could take a better screenshot. I admit that I am an amateur explorer only.

Umm.. where is that on the galactic map? I remember passing through a system similar to that a while back... thought i had bagged it for myself.

EDIT: Nevermind, mine was an ammonia world with an ammonia world moon.

Nice find, love how they're visually so different.

Frontier did a great job of modeling the greenhouse effect. 98% CO2 means no polar caps, haze instead of white clouds, and temps barely low enough to support ammonia based life. All this difference within the exact same Goldilocks zone for ammonia worlds, just based on the Atmospheres.

@Agony, I'd love to a screen shot. It's a rare (and massive) moon that can support an atmosphere. I am almost certain that masses were boderline binary, as opposed to moon-primary. So yours should count imo. I found a binary ammonia system to on my first trip to Sgr A*, back when I thought such things were common. Silly me.

Nice! a ringed big brother too :)

Yup, as I suspected, that "moon" is roughly the same mass and size as the two planets in the OP. Which means the big brother must be roughly earth-sized. Maybe a bit bigger even?

Big Brother is 23 Earth Masses :D
