Editing Artemis (section)

== Planetary Geography ==
Artemis closely resembles Earth in many ways, with 94% Earth gravity, atmospheric pressure of 0.94atm, and a mass equal to 1.02 earths. The blue-green skies are at least largely familiar, if tinted slightly by the warmer light of its sun. Even its days and years are close enough to parity that the same calendar can be utilized, with only minor adjustments under the hood. Sitting comfortably within the habitable zone, 0.7 AU away from its star, Artemis's rich, green flora can be seen from orbit, giving proof of native life likely compatible in some way with Earth's. Combine all this with its average temperature of 23 degrees Celsius in the northern hemisphere, and Artemis was an obvious choice for the MBC's colonial efforts.  

Due to the massive distance between the Solar System and Artemis, only overarching geographical patterns are known about Artemis. The Artemis Mission is eventually planned to act as not only colonizers of this planet but explorers, unraveling mysteries such as the patches of bare desert seen on its surface with no consistent pattern or obvious cause.

There is one very significant difference between Earth and Artemis, however. The atmosphere on Artemis is composed of ~60% carbon dioxide, ~16% argon, ~10% oxygen, and trace amounts of nitrogen and helium. This makes for a deceptively deadly atmosphere to humans, being scentless but leading to certain asphyxiation on an average of 60 to 140 seconds.
