My last post of planets in the Triangulum galaxy, a ringed world montage. And all these planets were found in one star system.
I have not decided which galaxy I am going to visit next, but I will left you know in the next day or so.

Picture of the Day - October 25, 2018
Two frozen worlds very almost identical in their size ratio to one another as the Pluto-Charon double dwarf planet system.
Two planets in the O’Sirus System have rings, the 7th and 10th planets respectively.
The 7th planet is an ice-world with a thick icy crust floating on a sub-surface ocean. It is roughly 0.30 Earth-masses, has a radius 75% that of Earth and orbits 1.32 AU from the sun. The surface has a carbon dioxide atmosphere of approximately the same pressure as the atmosphere of Mars and surface temperatures of 133 K or -224 °F.
The 10th world is small ice giant 10.5 times more massive than Earth, has a radius 2.8 times larger than Earth and orbits at a distance of 6.02 AU. This world also has a pronounced ring system.
