Entering orbit…
Star and planet drawn to scale (a typical star of its class), with only the star's edge in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.
Surface. No surface: a deuterium-burning sphere the size of Jupiter and dozens of times its mass, glowing dull red from its own heat
Hydrogen and helium with iron and silicate cloud decks - hot enough to rain molten metal

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 88/100).
