Plutonian moon naming lab

edit

Making up names for Pluto's new moons.

Notes:
Data from Buie & Grundy
* Awaiting naming.
** Many astronomers use this idiosyncratic pronunciation, rather than the classical kair'-ən, but both are acceptable.

The Plutonian system with the possible names for S/2005 P1 & S/2005 P2. — HurricaneDevon @ 18:22, 23 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Devon,
Got the pronunciation of Cerberus wrong there. The OED has (ˈsɜːbərəs), and Webster's has \'sər-b(ə-)rəs\ --that is, like the OED but with ars, or two syllables as "surbrəs". — User:Kwamikagami

Fluorine planet lab

edit
Florine planet
About
Florine planets are basicly like
Earth. Except instead of Water (H2O)
& Oxygen (O2) it's
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) & Fluorine (F2).
Surface

Crust
 
  • Silicon fluoride (SiF4)
  • hydroxyapatites
  • flurosilicates
  • thiosilicates
  • metal sulphates.
Atmosphere
 
Temperature
313 K (104°F)
Atmosphere
Silicon-bace life
that uses HF as a solvent.
