PLANET SURVEY: October-1a 5
Class H, Terrestrial Mercurian Planet
Class H, Terrestrial Mercurian Planet
Mass of the planet: 544.8 * 10/21 kg
Distance from the sun: 65,000,000,000 Km
Inclination: 12.435 degrees
Density: 3.741 g/cm3
Time of revolution (how long is a year): 246.01 standard Sol years.
Time of rotation (how long is a day): 1.024 earth days
Atmosphere Chemical Composition: Only a trace atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and oxygen was present, but not in quantities high enough to mark a true atmosphere
Moons or Rings: One significant moon was found in close orbit around the planet. Its orbit was approximately 10.56 days, and it has a mass of about 45 * 10/21 kg
Planet 5 in the order of planets from star October-1a was found to be rocky planet lacking any significant atmosphere. Its surface was not tectonically active and has been marred by billions or years of asteroid impacts. One, of significance, appears to be of such a mass that it likely altered the planets orbit from much closer to the parent stars to its current locations. The presence of larger planets in its orbit must have re-circularized the planet following the impact and orbital shift.
The planet itself does not have a magnetosphere, however its relatively large moon does appear to have a unique magnetosphere caused by molten rock, heated both by tidal pull and radio-isotope decay.
The survey team recommends the formal name of "Serendip" for the planet.
