Phaeton

(Edited)

Phaeton is a planet thought to have existed between Mars and Jupiter. The hypothesis is that it was destroyed, creating the asteroid belt that exists there now.
That's crazy.
Imagine if Earth exploded.

Anyhoo, this is a transformed version of an Angel I created and my cats said it looks like an exploding planet.

So it shall be .... henceforth ...

Cool drawing. I think the planet never actually formed because Jupiter is so close.

Great artwork. In a short-story/novelette I did a while back, that planet was named Scayune, and got destroyed after an ant-monkey infestation got out of hand.

In my story, the Orus system had four important planets:

  • Orus-2: Uhm (Venus), a planet with a huge mining colony
  • Orus-3: Woldera (Earth), a forest planet with a sea moon (Mara).
  • Orus-4: Scayune (Phaeton), a breeding planet for genetic engineering
  • Orus-5: Maarsoli (Mars), a dying terraformed planet.

In the endthe solar system turns out as we know it now.

Thinking of doing a rewrite some day, maybe turn it into a full size novel.

That sounds awesome! Would be a cool video game idea too....ant-monkeys are always problematic! lol
