| Mar 11, 2016 at 14:47 | comment | added | Angela M Phelps | I wanted some "real" solar systems to be integrated into my world and thus began my journey into astronomy. I was first introduced to the idea of a tidally locked planet when researching Zarmina (orbiting Gliese 581). It has no known satellites (it's own existence is disputed). I thought I should include some into my wholesale-created solar systems to make them more realistic. At this point I'm creating solar systems - 19 of them - and just beginning to consider many of the questions you asked. | |
