Belleza And Brillante

Belleza is a beautiful earth-like world that spins around a star just outside the Whirlpool Galaxy.  Brillante is a ice-covered moon, very much like Jupiter's moon Europa. 

Nighttime skies are never dark when Brillante is full.  The icy moon shines almost 100X as bright as Earth's companion.
