Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameMetungr Skoll
Planet typeCold planet
It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

Metungr Skoll and Dilpro are cold planets rich in rock. The planet is named after the deity Metungr Skoll, the spirit of the sky.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Dilpro.

Metungr Skoll is gravitationally locked with GJ 96 in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Metungr Skoll are likewise similar to those of Dilpro, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.
