Fictional info (?) Suggested name Mechafen Planet type Hot gas giant In English, Mechafen is often referred to as the "red planet" because the formaldehyde prevalent on its surface gives it a dark red appearance that is recognizable among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. Mechafen 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. Mechafen is orbiting HAT-P-30 every 2.8 Earth days. 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. It is a hot gas giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of HAT-P-30, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. The planet is named after the deity Mechafen, the creator of love and beauty. As seen from HAT-P-30, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 0.18 bar, or roughly the pressure found 585 m under the oceans of Earth. In November 1500, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Mechafen.
