Suggested name | Saxaculo |
Planet type | Warm planet |
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 88°K (-185°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with neon thought to make up the lowest clouds, and ozone the uppermost layer of clouds. This planet is named after the deity Saxaculo, the goddess of good fortune.
Two spacecraft have visited Saxaculo: Wayfinder 4 flew by 27 years ago; and Messenger, launched 16 years ago, orbited Saxaculo over 160 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 5 years later.
Saxaculo's thick atmosphere make observation of its surface difficult in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 54 years ago.
The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 31 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Saxaculo approached its equinox 9 years ago. |
