Fictional info (?) Suggested name Kaichyin Planet type Warm planet In English, Kaichyin is often referred to as the "orange planet" because the hydrogen deuteride (HD) prevalent on its surface gives it a scary orange appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Xerkya, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. It is named after the deity Kaichyin, the bringer of dreams. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 19 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Kaichyin due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 7 percent of Xerkya's, except at the highest elevations for limited periods. In late February 3300, Kaichyin was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Kaichyin's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Xerkya. The Kaichyin 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.
