Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Suri-tepon |
Planet type | Huge cold gas giant |
In English, Suri-tepon is often referred to as the "yellow planet" because the sulfur dioxide prevalent on its surface gives it a pale yellow appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.
It is named after the deity Suri-tepon, the demon of the sea.
Suri-tepon 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 Suri-tepon 1000 and ExoSuri-tepon rovers. The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of frozen gas.
Suri-tepon has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Galileo orbiter. |
