16 Cygni is a
binary star system consisting of two yellow G-class stars. The system lies in
the Cygnus Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.
16 Cygni's planetary system orbits the binary
system's slightly smaller star, 16 Cygni B.
The system consists of a large gas giant which
contains over two times Jupiter's mass, which is
orbited by a Martian sized moon.
16
Cygni B's gas giant has an eccentric orbit,
which give the planet radical seasonal swings.
These swings are apparent on the large moon that
orbits the planet. The moon completely
freezes over during the winter, while thawing
during the spring and summer, during the
habitable period when the moon comes to life.
