Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Calxilade |
Planet type | Huge cold gas giant |
Calxilade is the largest and innermost planet in its solar system.
This huge cold gas giant is named after the deity Calxilade, the demon of the sea.
Calxilade's surface appears extremely cratered and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.
Two spacecraft have visited Calxilade: Daedalus 10 flew by 35 years ago; and Messenger, launched 19 years ago, orbited Calxilade over 165 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 12 years later.
As the closest planet to Cuphaë, Calxilade has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration.
The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Calxilade are likewise similar to those of Cuphaë, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. |
