The solar system of Ayu <\/a><\/em><\/strong>contains six planets. The first three planets are rocky. Tekuo <\/a><\/em><\/strong>is the second of these. The outer three are gas giants. Most are visible from Tekuo by the naked eye. Working outwards, they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planets are listed above under their Lemohai names. The names of the visible planets (the first four) vary considerably between languages, but they tend to be named after deities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outer two planets are named after their discoverers. These names are more consistent cross-linguistically. Their names are given here in their Lemohaised form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ease of communication, the international scientific community sometimes refer to the planets by a solar system number. In this scheme, Haoni <\/strong>is Ayu 1, Tekuo <\/strong>is Ayu 2, <\/strong>and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tekuo’s moon, S\u0169to<\/strong>, is worthy of note. It is 0.012 times the size of Tekuo and orbits its host planet in 25.5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solar system also contains numerous other smaller objects such as sednoids, comets, asteroids and dwarf planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the humans of Earth, the Ike of Tekuo have ventured into space. They are a little ahead of us in this regard. They have set foot on both Haoni and Sur\u0169\u00e3, returning several times to both planets. They have established a permanent research base on S\u0169to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
