Fictional info (?) Suggested name Wocefane Planet type Hot planet The interior of Wocefane is mainly composed of ices and stone. The planet is named after the deity Wocefane, the creator of the sky. 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 155°K (-118°C) at night to 490°K (217°C) during the day across the equatorial regions. It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on. The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Superior. Wocefane has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Hotchins orbiter. Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Wocefane approached its equinox 6 years ago.
