Fictional info (?) Suggested name Qigipas-a Planet type Cold planet In English, Qigipas-a is often referred to as the "red planet" because the ethane prevalent on its surface gives it a dark red appearance that is recognizable among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Uberaq, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, sometimes, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. This planet is named after the deity Qigipas-a, the spirit of dreams. Qigipas-a's thick clouds make observation of its surface challenging in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 28 years ago.
