| Suggested name | Iruce |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| Its orbital period around Kepler-1008 of 12 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system.
Iruce's atmosphere is similar to Orug-ev's in its primary composition of hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. The planet is named after the deity Iruce, the goddess of the sky.
When viewed from Earth, this proximity to Kepler-1008 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.
It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of water.
The Iruce 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. |
