Image description: View from the satellite orbiting the gas
giant planet located at 2.7 AU. We assumed that the satellite is
enough big to sustain it's atmosphere. The life factor was set to
5% because of the history of this system. Procyon B was bigger than
Procyon A, so it burnt out faster, which means that once this star
went through all processes that stars go, (main sequence, red giant,
planetary nebula). And all that happened just 8.9 AU's from this
system. |
