Flag of Tatania
Moon of Uranus
TATANIA


This flag represents the moon Tatania which can be found orbiting Uranus. This moon is named upon the imagination of William Shakespeare's Fairy Queen - Tatania.

Uranus is the non-conformist planet of our solar system that rotates nearly perpendicular to its orbital pathway. This has given the moon's of Uranus a very unique point of view, since their orbits cut out of the 'normal' groove of rotation.

Ariel Flag, Moon of Uranus

Flag of Ariel
Moon of Uranus

The moon Ariel was discovered by an English Astronomer on October 24, 1851. This flag represents this moon and is based upon the elements of the British Union Jack and emblems associated with Manchester, since the founder of this moon may have been a Manchester United FC fan if he were alive today - William Lassel of Bolton, England.

The altered union flag is rotated 90 degrees to represent Uranus and its moon's nearly perpendicular side ways view of the solar system.

The colours of Ariel's flag are black, yellow, red, and white. The devilish emblem is holding an astrologically based Uranus shaped pitch fork, instead of regular pitch fork.

Europa Flag, Moon of Jupiter


Flag of Europa

This is the flag of Europa the glacier moon of Jupiter. The colours of this flag are indigo, blue, white, and orange. It is essentially a horizontal tri-bar with orange fimbration along the central indigo stripe.

In each of the main stripes are symbols. In the top white stripe is Chinese symbol for Jupiter which also means wood and Thursday.

The colours are reflective of Europa's natural colours, and assumed ocean or submerged glacier.

In the middle is the indigo stripe with Europa written in Phoenician since Europa was originally a Phoenician Princess. This translation is based upon an English to Phoenician translation. If a Greek to Phoenician code would have been used there would have been no Phoenician A. This was done to honor another letter of the ancient and semi-living Phoenician Alphabet.


On the bottom is a blue stripe with the horns of a white bull, which is related to the story of when Zeus turned himself into a white bull to seduce Europa.
