Challenge: Tell me about this image
 
#2
"Ross 128 is a Red Dwarf System approximately 10 light years from Earth. First charted by in 2011, 3 planets were discovered orbiting the star. 2 inner sub-Mercury sized planets, orbiting close to the star, while the third pictured is approximately the size of Neptune, orbiting at approximately 1 AU. There is a surprising amount of metallic dust suspended in the atmosphere of the planet, perhaps evidence of the same impact which formed which formed the planets rings. The dust gives the planet's atmosphere a distinctive and strong red hue.

Due to it's nature as a red planet, orbiting a red star, the world was named 'Lenin'... with the other two planets in system being named 'Marx' and 'Engels'. Lenin has two natural satellites, Stalin and Trotsky. Stalin is somewhat similar to the Jovian moon io, orbiting dangerously close the it's parent world. Stalin is a warm world, heated internally by tital forces with evidence of active volcanism on it's surface. Stalin is a wealthy moon in mineral resources. Trotsky is much cooler, orbiting further from it's parent, and is partially covered with ice, with a few lone mountaintops peeking through. "
