PANDORA (Avatar)

Pandora is a moon of the giant gaseous planet Polyphemus, orbiting Alpha Centauri A. It was discovered in the first interstellar expedition 25years ago, in 2129.

 Pandora has been the most interesting thing that has happened to the human race in centuries. The news love to transmit images of the wild scenery on Pandora, and its dangerous fauna and flora. For cultures of the Earth, who have lost all contact with the nature, Pandora is mysterious, primitive and terrifying. Its atmosphere is poisonous (for humans), even from orbit, the extension of flora present on the surface indicates a planet bursting with life. One of the creatures of Pandora is the Direhorse an hexapod of skin grey, similar to horses, with qualities bioluminescent, that the Na'vi used to hunt. The Na'vi also used the Banshee to hunt from the air, but the Hunter can become prey in the presence of the Toruk. Living below, more deadly, but exotic creatures. Herds of Viperlobo, and the most fearsome, the Thanator. Aside from the colour, Pandora trees resemble the Earth. 

 Pandora, despite being almost of the same size that the Earth is only a moon of the giant gaseous planet Polyphemus, which has other thirteen moons. However, being smaller than the Earth, it has less gravity. Due to this low gravity most of the creatures of Pandora are hexapods, six legs. Animals live in heaven and on Earth, as on Earth, but are much larger. The fauna of Pandora also pose qualities biolumiscents. According to the position of several moons, Pandora can have two or even three moons in the sky. Pandora and the other moons produce large black shadows in Polifemous.

  Pandora appears as a lush Paradise by Earth day standards, although night life on the planet exhibits qualities in varying shades of blue (explaining the blue colour of the Na'vi, it's a good night in Pandora camouflage).
