Lumenes

Lumenes is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Stellar Cartographer" by Anya Sharma. It is depicted as a gas giant located in the Kepler-186 system, approximately 500 light-years from Earth. Lumenes is characterized by its turbulent atmosphere, which is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of methane and ammonia. The planet's electromagnetic field is exceptionally strong, generating spectacular auroras visible from its orbital path.

The novel describes Lumenes as being orbited by a single, large moon named Lumina. Lumina is a tidally locked rocky body with a thin atmosphere and evidence of past volcanic activity. The surface of Lumina is rich in rare minerals, making it a target for potential resource extraction missions in the "The Stellar Cartographer" narrative. Despite its inhospitable environment, the Kepler-186 system, including Lumenes, is a subject of ongoing scientific interest due to its potential for exoplanet habitability within the habitable zone of its star. The presence of Lumenes and its moon Lumina adds to the complex celestial tapestry explored by the protagonist, Captain Eva Rostova, as she navigates the uncharted regions of space.
