Suggested namePacasyco
Planet typeCold planet
The polar regions are constantly below 144°K (-129°C).

It may have had water vapor oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
