Kaylee's Worlds!

Kaylee's Worlds!

I have some brown dwarfs, Luhman 16 AB, (link here) which are similiar in mass, about 30 times that of Jupiter. The worlds, which I can't really call planets *or* moons without feeling incrediby conflicted, all rapidly orbit in hours, not days. They lie beyond the roche limit, where tidal forces would tear them apart. These are all placeholder names; the two brown dwarfs and seven worlds would be renamed by the future colonists, I'm sure! In a nod to Firefly I decided to change K.L. for Kevin Luhman to Kaylee. The largest world is named for Luhman, of course.

I didn't get an animation for this done, yet...
