In a picture taken by the Bassarid probe IASS-00M1, Micras passes across the face of a nearby galaxy known to Bassarid astronomers as Azos.

The Atos System is the stellar system in which the planet Micras exists. The following data is a result of many years of significant effort by Bassarid scientists genuinely seeking to develop and improve resources for scientists and researchers around the world and is not recognized by the international community at large. Of particular dispute is the existence of the moons of Thalassa, Nephele, and Glinos, and the multitude of asteroids which comprise the system's major asteroid belt.

In the 41.50s PSSC, the Bassarid government clarified its claims to this research, citing a desire to improve respect for the wishes of those nations and world leaders who regard Bassarid contributions to the global community as anathema.

Non-Bassarid research regarding the Atos System can be found at the Micronational Astronomy Society. All those who seek to avoid relying on any Bassarid research may instead rely on the abundance of data compiled over many years at that location.

Overview

The Atos System as it is currently understood, was defined in the early 32.80's PSSC by researchers working for the New Zimian Space Exploration and Settlement Agency. Current models of the Atos System also reflect research completed by scientists in Mercury.

Overview of Asteroids

The following is a list of the largest asteroids found in the asteroid belt which divides the Inner Atos System from the Realm of the Gas Giants. Most of the asteroids take their names from Bassaridianism, one of Micras' most important religions. One of the asteroids is named after the celebrated Craitish footballer Freddie Gaärsen, while another is named for the alcoholic beverage made from the national fruit of Craitland.

Life in the Asteroid Belt

In 46.87 PSSC, it was discovered by researchers associated with the New Zimian Space Exploration and Settlement Agency that the asteroid belt is inhabited by a species of large single-celled organisms, known as Bijarids that feed entirely on rock and dust. The discovery of this species marks the first observation of life in the Atos System beyond Micras and Tarsica.

Star Maps

Maps of the Micrasian night sky in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Many stars are close bright enough to be seen during large portions of the day, as seen in this photo taken in the Coastal Woodlands of Bassaridia Vaeringheim.

In 45.55 PSSC, the New Zimian Space Exploration and Settlement Agency announced that it had completed its efforts to map the night sky. Soon after, in 45.70, it announced that it had determined the approximate location of the Atos System within its respective galaxy.

The New Zimian Space Exploration and Settlement Agency estimates that there are approximately 23,732,367 stars which are observable from Micras. A list of the largest and brightest stars is as follows. Note that the star images were captured with the aid of highly powerful telescopes. Many smaller stars which can be seen in these images, cannot be observed with the naked eye.

Stars are named for historical and mythological figures in the Pallisican, Bassarid and Alperkin religious traditions. All names are derived from the Simplified Pallisican Language.
