Sector 7

Ocellus chose Uranus and Neptune as her destinations to map out. Both of these planets appeared bluish in color and did not have any solid landmasses except for their moons. Since these two planets were mostly gas, Ocellus charted them from her ship. Daring Do had said there weren't any reports of what the moons were named, so Ocellus only took note of the number of moons instead. Her sensors showed that Neptune was mostly composed of helium, hydrogen, and sulfur with traces of methane. Looking through her ship's telescope, she saw some very faint rings that appeared to be made of small rock fragments. She sent a probe down to analyze the atmosphere, and discovered that this planet was extremely windy. There was also ice below the clouds, but the constant wind kept it from drifting into space. She sent the probe deeper and found that there was indeed a core to Neptune, made of ice and rock, that seemed to be exactly the same size as Earth. In the process of locating the core, she found that there was water, ammonia, and methane ice below the main atmosphere.

Uranus was similar, but it was slightly different in color. It was a bluish-green color. Her ship's computer identified this to be the result of the methane in the atmosphere absorbing red light. She saw the rings more clearly than the rings around Neptune due to the fact that these rings were composed of larger particles. These were mainly rocks and large pieces of ice. The inner rings were darker and more difficult to see. Ocellus had to use a night-vision function in her telescope in order to see these rings. They were so dark that she noted they looked similar to charcoal. What really stood out is that the rings were vertical. She had no idea why this was, nor did Daring Do when Ocellus returned to the space station after making sure she had not missed anything.
