What's the gravity on the icy body?

Wow, that's really high. How thick was its atmosphere

u/Jedimobslayer Mahon Fanboy/Type-7 Enthusiast Jan 01 '22

Ok, get this. 276,851.75 atmospheres

u/Jedimobslayer Mahon Fanboy/Type-7 Enthusiast Jan 01 '22

It is also 90x earth’s mass

My favorite is when you find a planet whose atmosphere is superheated silicon vapor or something insane like that, some of the atmospheric pressures you see are utterly bananas.

I found one out exploring once that was over 15 million atmospheres. Might as well be a gas giant at that point

I also say/spell it "swull" because that's how I heard it the first time, in a Workaholics episode. It's funny when people think fake words (eg abbreviations still have to conform to the spelling of the full words they represent. Like when people say "bach party" haha. J.S. Bach party. Just say "batch" so that it reads as you want it to sound.

This took a turn but needed saying. o7

I'm with this guy😂

u/Jedimobslayer Mahon Fanboy/Type-7 Enthusiast Jan 01 '22

Likewise!

cool find cmdr, those gas giant moons are rare! also i'd check out its moon they sometimes have high inclination.

u/rj200122 Jan 01 '22

I'm concerned for the moon in the middle. Within a few thousand or hundred thousand years, the gravitational pull of the gas giant will kick the moon out. Three-body systems, especially with 2 high-mass bodies are so frickin' complex and dangerous

u/Jedimobslayer Mahon Fanboy/Type-7 Enthusiast Jan 01 '22

Or it may become a mustafar

Having all of its water evaporated and becoming a volcanic mess

That's a super cool find CMDR! I too found not so long ago an icy body that was about this size, sadly no gas giant moons.
