The highlight is Whanu GO-R c5-1 B 4, a 49-Earth-mass Class I gas giant surrounded by two distinct, pristine rings: a narrow, metal-rich inner ring followed immediately by a much broader, icy ring. Five icy moons accompany the planet, several of them geologically active. But B 4 a and B 4 b are unlike the others.
B 4 a and B 4 b form an extraordinarily tight binary moon pair. Both orbit a common barycentre, and that barycentre in turn orbits B 4 at roughly 149,600 kilometres from the planet’s centre, only about 22,000 kilometres beyond the outer edge of its icy ring. The two moons complete an orbit around one another every 8 hours and 44 minutes.
Their average centre-to-centre separation is only about 3,590 kilometres. B 4 a has a radius of roughly 1,031 kilometres and B 4 b about 1,275 kilometres, leaving on average only 1,290 kilometres of empty space between their surfaces. Both worlds are landable, both sit near 78 K, and both show water-geyser volcanism and geological signals.
The visual effect from either surface should be remarkable. From the side of B 4 a facing its companion, B 4 b can span roughly 60 degrees of sky when overhead. Behind the pair lies the enormous bulk of ringed B 4. The binary’s shared orbit places them just beyond the planetary rings, making the B 4 system a particularly strong candidate for surface sightseeing and an orbital curiosity.
