Mellifluus (/mɛlˈli.fluːs/) is a distant moon in the Eos sector, orbiting at just beyond 100,000 kilometers. Its atmosphere is a bright shade of turquoise - a color it shares with its largely flat surface, devoid of all but a few mountains - which fades to a pale peach at its furthest depth. From the surface, the turquoise gives way to a burnished gold which seems to always be lingering just over the horizon.
Nomenclature
