[[File:Hephaestus.jpg|thumb|293x293px]] |
|||
The single moon of [[Vulcan]]. |
|||
== Overview == |
|||
Once a frozen [[Planet Class|S-Class]] moon, the change in temperature changed its class to a hot [[Planet Class|D-Class]] moon. It's tidally |
|||
locked to its parent moon and orbits Vulcan every 20 hours and 14 minutes. The |
|||
reason for its purple atmosphere is the purple dust from its surface which is |
|||
scattered all over the world by winds. |
|||
The mean temperature of |
|||
Hephaestus is 477.1 °C (890.8 |
|||
°F) and had a gravity of |
|||
0.22 Gs. It has a diameter of 4302 km (1953.7 mi). Its new atmosphere has a |
|||
pressure of 0.02. Its semimajor axis from Vulcan is 44547.3 km (27680.4 mi). |
|||
== Population == |
|||
A handful of scientists and their families live in the large |
|||
caverns beneath the surface of Hephaestus in order to study this world and how |
|||
it is adapting to its new place in the universe. |
|||
== Climate == |
|||
[[File:Hephaestus-Map.jpg|left|thumb|294x294px|Map of Hephaestus.]] |
|||
Unlike its parent, Hephaestus has a very Earthlike day, |
|||
meaning that the entire surface is bathed in heat and some radiation, keeping |
|||
the surface constantly boiling. |
|||
The moon, like its parent has a strong magnetic field that |
|||
deflects much of the incoming solar radiation. |
