Pandora - "Yeriksä ’awpo" (2025)

Pandora: Moon of Polyphemus, a gas giant planet orbiting the star Alpha Centauri A, approximately 4.37 light-years from Earth.

Physical Characteristics (Pandora / Earth)

Diameter: 11,447 km / 12,756 km

Mass: 0.72 / 1

Surface Gravity: 0.8 / 1

Atmospheric Density: 1.2 / 1

Surface Pressure: 1.1 / 1

Atmosphere

EARTH

Nitrogen (N₂): ~78 %

Oxygen (O₂): ~21 %

Argon (Ar): ~0.93 %

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): ~0.04 %

Other rare gases (Neon, Krypton, Xenon, Helium): traces

Water Vapor (H₂O): variable, up to 4 % depending on humidity

Average Temperature: 15 °C

PANDORA

Nitrogen (N₂): predominant (like on Earth, allowing human respiration with adjustments)

Oxygen (O₂): slightly lower or similar (~21 %)

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): slightly higher than on Earth (supports very dense flora)

Rare gases (Xenon, Neon, Argon, etc.): present in small amounts (Xenon 5.5 %)

Water Vapor (H₂O): abundant, dense clouds, frequent rainfall

Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): variable, released by volcanic activity, toxic above 1 %

Atmospheric Pressure: slightly higher than on Earth (~1.1–1.2 atm), allowing normal respiration despite some biological differences

Average Temperature: warmer and more humid, lush tropical climate

Notable Effects:

Atmosphere rich in ions and bioluminescent compounds, creating a slight glowing halo and the vivid colors of Pandora

Plants sometimes emit phosphorescence in certain areas

Small amounts of gases like Xenon may contribute to the strange coloration of the air, but are never toxic to humans
