(Space Engine makes the vast majority of Oceans blue, so I decided to make this one red like the atmosphere. In the game it has normal oceans, but from space it looks red, so I made it red, plus the idea of a red ocean on an Exoplanet is interesting.)


Bloodeth's information[]

Bloodeth, also known as HIP 1887 G, is a temperate marine superearth with life that is located near another star, HIP 1891, and it was discovered on November 11th, 1992. The planet has an estimated 16 moons, though there are only 7 major ones around the planet. The atmospheric pressure is 273 ATM. The composition of the atmosphere is nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water. The planet is named Bloodeth for a reason, and that reason is that the unicellular life of the planet made the oceans blood red. The unicellular life seems to have red chlorophyll, and is responsible for the ocean color. The planet also looks like Earth during the late Triassic and early Jurassic. The gravity of the planet is 2.3505 g, and the age of the planet is 2.781 billion years, making it a very young planet. The axial tilt for this world is 18*18’17.43", with the solar day being 10 hours, 4 minutes, and 32.18 seconds. The rotational period of the planet is 1.15 seconds shorter than the solar day. The orbital period of the planet is 37.348 years.

The semimajor axis of the planet is 11.93 AU. The planet has an earth similarity of 0.810. The planet has a mass 5+ times that of the earth, at 5.7748 M⨁. The planet has a diameter of 19972.18 kilometers and a radius in miles is 12410.14 miles. The planet’s blood-red ocean covers the vast majority of its surface, and there are several volcanic oceans that litter the ocean. This makes the planet look like it's in its primordial era, and it's predicted that life will at some point evolve into something that will resemble us. The planet got its name in 1998, when the Hipparcos catalog was coming to an end and a higher resolution observation of the planet was done. Before this point, the planet was seen as a red dot and considered a Mars-like world. In 1998, they discovered that the planet had an ocean, which was a reddish color and was deemed the explanation for why the planet had this color. A small team surveyed the planet and discovered that it had a red ocean, and one continent, that continent was named "Bloodethia". The reason for why the oceans are red has to do with the life here, which has a red pigment in its skin, and it is really abundant here, covering the whole of the planet in its red glory.
