Vivid Aether

__NOTOC__
Vivid Aether is an uninhabited gas planet in the Answer system.
== Description ==
Whether it be from local evolution or panspermia, Vivid Aether's clouds are home to colonies of anaerobic microbial life, feeding on both sunlight and traces of methane in the atmosphere. These form colorful streaks in the upper atmosphere, which were what initially attracted Saryd explorers to the planet. Now, it is common for Heliarch research patrols to sit in orbit for weeks at a time in order to study the simple, yet exotic, ecology. Occasionally, they send down small vessels capable of withstanding the extreme pressures, though none happen to be nearby right now.
The life-bearing layer only extends downward a few hundred kilometers before pressures rise and the temperature becomes inhospitable to life. Deeper down, the atmosphere is barren and lifeless.
