Nephele

==Overview:==
Nephele, named after the cloud nymph of Greek mythology, is a remote and chilling world located approximately 45,850 light years away from our solar system. Its ethereal beauty lies in its turbulent, cloud-covered atmosphere and the mysteries that dwell within. This cold, frigid planet boasts a uniquely challenging environment, with extreme temperatures and perpetually stormy skies. Despite its harsh conditions, Nephele is home to a remarkable ecosystem of organic multicellular life, primarily airborne, but with the ability to briefly touch down on the planet's surface.
==Physical Features:==
Nephele is a planet defined by its extreme coldness, with surface temperatures plummeting to a bone-chilling -70 degrees Celsius (-94 Degrees Fahrenheit). It lacks liquid bodies due to the temperature extremes on its surface, leaving its surface desolate and barren. The planet's three round moons gracefully orbit overhead, casting eerie shadows on Nephele's frigid landscape. Its axial tilt of 26.5 degrees contributes to the significant temperature variations across the planet's surface.
==Atmosphere:==
The planet's thick atmosphere, with a pressure of 5.83 atmospheres, is dominated by nitrogen (70.7%) and oxygen (28.3%), with a trace of carbon dioxide (1%). The result is an otherworldly, orangish white sky that stands in stark contrast to the otherwise icy landscape. However, the most striking feature of Nephele's atmosphere is its tumultuous cloud cover. These dense, white clouds are notorious for their Wild and Eratic behaviour, often extending perilously close to the surface. The Average Wind speeds within these cloud formations can reach a ferocious 112 miles per hour ( 180 Kilometres per hour ), equivalent to the force of an EF2 Tornado.
==Life on Nephele:==
Despite the planet's rather inhospitable surface conditions, Nephele is teeming with life. Organic multicellular organisms have adapted to the incredibly turbulent atmosphere, where they thrive primarily within the thick cloud layers. These unique life forms can briefly descend to the surface, utilizing specialized adaptations to withstand the extreme cold and fleeting moments of relative calm. Nephelean life has evolved intricate mechanisms for harnessing energy from atmospheric phenomena, such as lightning and electrical discharges.
== History: ==
Nephele, like the many celestial bodies in our universe, formed around five billion years ago. Its history is marked by the evolution of its extraordinary atmospheric life forms, which have adapted to the planet's harsh and ever-changing conditions. While Nephele at the current moment remains uninhabited by advanced intelligent life, its study has provided invaluable insights into the adaptability and resilience of life in the cosmos.
