Celestial Bodies (5)

Sol (Simulation)
star · system center · 1,391,000 km diameter

A perfect digital recreation of the G-Type main sequence star Sol.

Jupiter
planet, gas-giant · orbits Sol (Simulation) · 778,000,000 km · 139,820 km diameter

The gas giant is emitting massive bursts of directed radio interference.

TMA-1
artifact · orbits Jupiter · 500,000 km · 9 km diameter

A perfectly smooth, pitch-black geometric structure. It is emitting a piercing radio signal.

TMA-2
artifact · orbits Jupiter · 1,500,000 km · 900 km diameter

A massive iteration of the monolith structure, dwarfing the first anomaly.

TMA-3
artifact · orbits Jupiter · 7,000,000 km · 9,000 km diameter

My God... it is full of stars!
