Suggested name | Caananhe |
Planet type | Cold planet |
This planet is named after the deity Caananhe, the goddess of love and beauty.
At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Thrymr Gaeon.
Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 75°K (-198°C) at night to 630°K (357°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.
It has the densest atmosphere of the three cold planets, consisting of huge amounts of carbon monoxide. Caananhe is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.
Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Caananhe 2800 and ExoCaananhe rovers. In November 3400, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Caananhe.
The Caananhe system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit. |
