Suggested nameBithi Theus
Planet typeCold planet
Bithi Theus and Mega-mipdes are cold planets rich in rock. Bithi Theus is similar in composition to Mega-mipdes, and both have different bulk chemical composition from that of the larger cold planets. For this reason, scientists often classify Bithi Theus and Mega-mipdes as "cold planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. This cold planet is named after the deity Bithi Theus, the god of war.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Mega-mipdes.

Two spacecraft have visited Bithi Theus: Daedalus 11 flew by 26 years ago; and Messenger, launched 20 years ago, orbited Bithi Theus over 120 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 11 years later.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 2.8 bar, or roughly the pressure found 1575 m under the oceans of Earth.

Bithi Theus is the site of Ars Ridge, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.

Bithi Theus is primarily composed of carbon monoxide with a significant part of its mass being ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH), though ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) comprises only about a small amount of the number of molecules.
