These two small icy bodies (5A and 5B) measuring 416km and 400km in radius respectively, are orbiting each other in a very close binary system. Each has a nice view of the other moon and the gas giant they are orbiting, depending on which one of them you land on and at what time.

These planets both have silicate vapour geysers: Body 5A presents 23 geo sites, while body 5B presents 10. These geo sites can add to the already amazing sight of the neighboring moon and/or the gas giant. Another charm of these 2 moons is their weird, misshapen appearance, moon 5B is more misshapen than body 5A and looks roughly like a weird potato.

Getting a nice place for a screenshot can prove a bit difficult because of their proximity of 1 - 2Mm, as it is very easy for the other moon to be shadowed by the one you are landed on.
