This planet was submitted by user Numbers on eagletime Description: "A very large, slow-turning, streaked-and-cratered planet far from the sun, made mostly, if not all, of ice, causing it to have a very high albedo. It has an iron core allowing it a powerful magnetic field to keep the solar wind away from itself and its moons. There is a noticeable fissure on the planet where a large asteroid obliquely scraped the planet. Due to high axial tilt, some of the ice on the poles melts due to absorbing a lot of solar energy during the polar day, creating a seasonal polar ocean. A complex ring system surrounds it, and there are several moons. The inner population moons are mostly asteroidlike, with the exception of a relatively large moon. The middle population moons are somewhat larger, with a few dominant Galilean-like moons. The few outer population moons are all asteroidlike, and have elliptical, disorganized orbits, suggesting capture. The close-in dominant moon is also icy, and is heated by tidal forces to the point of volcanism, and this contributes to a sort of water cycle where water vapor, heated by the tides, rockets into the air, and some freezes back onto the surface. The second large moon is just a rocky moon, nothing much. The third moon has a thick, mostly opaque atmosphere, with never-freezing-yet-still-cold seas of ammonia water that could possibly host life. The fourth moon is smaller than the others but still relatively large, and is dominated by a feature similar to glass cracks. The fifth and final dominant moon is rich in metals, and has a potent magnetosphere of its own that gives it noticeable auroras." This one took a while! It's a very detailed description, I've even had to check wikipedia a few times to make sure I knew what I was drawing. In the future I'll post some drawings that go into detail about the planet itself and one of its moons.
