This is a lineup I drew up of Eclipse’s (my collector sona’s) Family. If you have any questions about them, please feel free to ask. I also would like to preference that these designs are based off of @insanelyadd drawings and descriptions of the sun and planet family’s. If you haven’t already, please go to their blog because all of their collector designs and world building is a treat to see.

From Left To Right:

Globular: Globular is Galaxy’s ex-husband and the father of Cosmic, Ion, and Quasar. He is from the Planet Family.

Galaxy: Galaxy is the mother of Cosmic, Ion, Quasar, Kuiper, Exosphere, and Eclipse. She is from the Sun Family.

Cosmic: Cosmic is the eldest child of Globular and Galaxy and is a Gas Giant (A mix of a Sun and Planet Collector).

Ion: Ion is the second eldest child of Globular and Galaxy and is also a Gas Giant.

Quasar: Quasar is the third oldest child of Globular and Galaxy and is also Gas Giant.

Kuiper: Kuiper is the fourth oldest child. He comes from the Sun Family.

Exosphere: Exosphere is the youngest sibling, a title he shares with his twin sister Eclipse. He comes from the Sun Family.

Eclipse: Eclipse is the youngest sibling, a title she shares with her twin brother Exosphere. She comes from the Sun Family.

GUYS LOOK

I FOUND AN UNDERRATED SOLARBALLS ESQUE SERIES WITH NO FANDOM

IT GIVES OFF THE SAME VIBES AS A FANTASY ANIME GUYS

AND IT'S GOOD

QUALITY

AND THERE'S 3 EPISODES OUT GO AND SHOW EXOSPHERE SOME LOVE

There is no exact point at which Earth’s atmosphere ends and space begins, although it’s generally agreed to be at an altitude of 50 to 60 miles (80 to 96 kilometers). #FACT

Exosphere

The horizontal axis of the Minecraft world is incredibly vast and expansive, but the vertical axis remains ridiculously narrow… If the vertical axis were to have no limits as well, could we ever see the Earth in survival mode someday?

Mercury’s Atmosphere The tiny planet Mercury, closest to the sun, turns out to have a faint atmosphere – but not one you’d be very happy about breathing. Mercury’s atmosphere is more precisely called an “Exosphere”, as the atoms in it are partially bound to Mercury but the density is so low that the atoms almost never strike each other as in a typical gas. The atmosphere of Mercury is, quite literally, vaporized rock. 

The atoms that make it up, as seen in this map produced from data sent back by the Messenger Spacecraft, include Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Aluminum, etc – all major components of rocks. It was once described to me that Mercury’s atmosphere is something like a refrigerator’s volume worth of vaporized rock surrounding the entire planet. Mercury’s atmosphere comes from a combination of ingredients. Some of it is picked up and held directly from the solar wind. Some of it is rock that has been vaporized from the surface just by being so close to the sun – imagine Mercury being in a giant blowtorch, that’s sorta what it is like. A final component of Mercury’s atmosphere is rock that is vaporized when small meteorites impact the surface. As you can see, the calcium abundance in this map is higher on Mercury’s dawn side than on the dusk side. It turns out this measurement is showing you that a lot of the calcium in Mercury’s atmosphere is coming from vaporized meteorites. Many of the small objects in the solar system travel around the sun in the opposite direction of the planets, so more impacts occur onto Mercury’s surface at dawn than at dusk, leading to more vaporized rock on that side of the world at any given time. The next mission to Mercury is a combined European Space Agency/Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency mission called BepiColombo. It consists of 2 separate orbiters, and they launched from Earth in 2018, with a plan to arrive at Mercury orbit in 2025. -JBB Image credit: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/mercurys-calcium-exosphere Reference: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/small-collisions-make-big-impact-on-mercury-s-thin-atmosphere
