Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameAutothee
Planet typeCold planet
It is named after the deity Autothee, the messenger of dreams.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to AU Mic, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 133 days.

It has the densest atmosphere of the known cold planets, consisting partly of sulfur dioxide. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 1.3 bar, or roughly the pressure found 1080 m under the oceans of Earth.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Autothee's strong magnetosphere.
