Phaethon 13 System

Share

Phaethon 13 System is a planetary system of the star named Phaethon 13. It's located within the shell of NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula. It was formed at around 3.9 billion years ago, which is around 700 million years younger than the Solar System and making it one of the oldest planetary systems in the universe, when the remains of the dissipating supernova formed the star and the planets around it. The first 3 inner planets are composed of metal and rock. The fourth inner planet, Phaethon 13F, and the only outer planet, Phaethon 13E, are composed of hydrogen and volatile substances such as ammonia and methane. All 5 of them have nearly circular orbits that lie close to the plane of the Earth's orbit just like the 8 planets of the Solar System.


There are 10 possible known dwarf planets and 390 known natural satellites with, 14 of them orbiting each planet with Phaethon 13F's 2 natural satellites being almost as massive as Phaethon 13D. There's also an asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Phaethon 13F and E, which only contains objects that are composed of just ice and rock, but it's a bit thinner than the asteroid belt of the Solar System due to having a bit fewer asteroids, and another one beyond Phaethon 13E's orbit resembling the Kuiper belt which almost has the same distance as Uranus' orbit.

The drawing was originally about how the Solar System planet would've looked like million years ago, but I changed it to my own planetary system that'll be in its own movie or TV series. If you remember Phaethon 13C, which was mentioned from this artwork, it's the third planet and the only habitable one from Phaethon 13 System. It's inhabited by a bunch of species known as Furrinites. It almost has similarities as the ones on Earth, making it almost a counterpart to our planet. The distance of each planet in this deviation is inaccurate as the true distance of the Phaethon 13 System planets are far from each other, just like the Solar System planets and any other planetary systems.
