The Horsehead Nebula is lit by a quintuple star system that bathes the clouds in UV light. Sigma Ordonis A and B are an orbiting pair of blue stars; C,D, and E will eventually spin off as solo stars

Little is known about dark energy, except that it's repulsive. This strange force causes matter to scatter rather than attract. Dark energy makes up 68% of the universe's mass-energy density.

Enaiposha is 3 times bigger and 8 times as massive as Earth. The planet's density means a chunk of it must be lighter than rock but heavier than gas. It is likely that Enaiposha is a water world.
