The third gas giant of this system has a close-orbiting moon providing spectacular views of the gas giant and ring system. Visitors should note that due to the axial tilts of the gas giant and the moon, and the rotation of each object, the view of the rings will vary over a 5.6-day interval.

The location was designated by Universal Cartographics as a tourist location and a navigational reference is available during visits. The navigational reference, perhaps by accident, is not for a physical marker but a data point located inside the moon; as such you can not approach closer than 1 Mm to the navigational reference.

This is truly a tourist location only for the most serious of explorers or travelers. The system is located 61,318 Ly from Sol and 42,757 Ly from Colonia. Beagle Point lies only 4350 Ly away.
