Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Hyskoll Pho |
Planet type | Cold planet |
This planet is named after the deity Hyskoll Pho, the messenger of destruction.
An observer on Hyskoll Pho would therefore see only one winter every four years.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Hyskoll Pho's distance from HD 5891 is only about two-thirds (or 96 pct) of its distance at aphelion.
It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 24 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Hyskoll Pho 3400 and ExoHyskoll Pho rovers. The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Superior.
Wind speeds can reach 81 metres per second. |
