Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Iruhom-ygege |
Planet type | Cold planet |
In English, Iruhom-ygege is often referred to as the "orange planet" because the sulfur dioxide prevalent on its surface gives it a dark orange appearance that is distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. Iruhom-ygege is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Iruhom-ygege is orbiting GJ 785 every 75 Earth days.
For this reason, scientists often classify Iruhom-ygege and Nivy as "cold planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. It is named after the deity Iruhom-ygege, the demon of good fortune.
Two spacecraft have visited Iruhom-ygege: Daedalus 5 flew by 42 years ago; and Messenger, launched 26 years ago, orbited Iruhom-ygege over 50 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's surface 4 years later.
In November 1900, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Iruhom-ygege.
It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other cold planets, Iruhom-ygege lacks a well-defined magnetic field. |
