Fictional info (?) Suggested name Zekada-ishi Planet type Cold planet It is named after the deity Zekada-ishi, the messenger of love and beauty. Two spacecraft have visited Zekada-ishi: Wayfinder 9 flew by 26 years ago; and Messenger, launched 12 years ago, orbited Zekada-ishi over 55 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 10 years later. It has the densest atmosphere of the two cold planets, consisting mostly of molecular hydrogen. Zekada-ishi is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. Zekada-ishi's thick clouds make observation of its surface challenging in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 20 years ago. Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Zekada-ishi due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 5 percent of Earth's, except at the lowest elevations for short periods. The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of sand.
