Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameProsmir
Planet typeCold planet
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 45°K (-228°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with argon thought to make up the lowest clouds, and hydrogen deuteride (HD) the uppermost layer of clouds. This planet is named after the deity Prosmir, the demon of the underworld.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to HD 137496, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 162 days.

Prosmir's hazy atmosphere make observation of its surface impossible in ultraviolet light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 66 years ago.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Prosmir 3300 and ExoProsmir rovers. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 17 meters.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 195 kilometers across when Prosmir is closest because of Nesode's atmosphere.
