This is Darwin 4 from space
Darwin IV is an imaginary planet visited by Earth probes Ike and Leo in the 94-minute long special Alien Planet. The planet is home to many strange and unusual forms of life, including Arrowtongue, Grovebacks and the sapient Eosapien.
Features[]
Darwin IV is a temperate, low-gravity world, and it is the fourth planet in its system, Darwin, named after Charles Darwin, one of the most prominent contributors to the theory of evolution. Darwin IV orbits twin suns, which have over the eons evaporated the planets oceans, thickening its atmosphere. The last remaining sea was locked in the Amoebic Sea, taking up 5% of the planet's surface area, looking like a giant purple splotch from orbit. The planet is otherwise a rusty red desert world with plenty of mountains, mesas and valleys. Darwin IV has small forests scattered about, with spiky trees and other vegetation. Darwin 4 also has at least two moons, possibly being captured asteroids, implying that there could be an asteroid belt in the Darwin system.
