Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameNumo
Planet typeCold planet
This planet is named after the deity Numo, the messenger of the underworld.

Two spacecraft have visited Numo: Daedalus 3 flew by 53 years ago; and Messenger, launched 20 years ago, orbited Numo over 135 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 4 years later.

Numo was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.

Numo is primarily composed of sulfur dioxide with a significant part of its mass being hydrogen chloride, though hydrogen chloride comprises only about a limited amount of the number of molecules.
