Century
2026-03-03
The planet Century was not named by scientists, but they would be proud of its literalness.
With proportions and an orbital period similar to Earth, in the goldilocks zone of a yellow dwarf, it was a winning lottery ticket of terran conditions. That is until we saw the rotational period. Just over a year, slightly longer than its orbit. Mere megaannums from tidal lock.
If you live a day on century, count yourself lucky. The sluggish turning of the world waddles after a retreating star, making sunrise somewhere to visit. Such is the geography of time, a century a day.
thank you to snow for being my science adviser on this one and confirming that spin + less spin = no touchy for a bit
