Suggested name | Gaeon-bianhy |
Planet type | Cold planet |
This planet is named after the deity Gaeon-bianhy, the goddess of love and beauty.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Gaeon-bianhy's distance from HD 40979 is only about two-thirds (or 83 pct) of its distance at aphelion.
Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Gaeon-bianhy's strong magnetosphere.
Gaeon-bianhy can easily be seen from Aebides-des with the naked eye, as can its blackish coloring.
In late February 1900, Gaeon-bianhy was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Gaeon-bianhy's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Aebides-des. |
