Suggested nameLypthys-mun
Planet typeCold planet
In English, Lypthys-mun is often referred to as the "gray planet" because the oxygen prevalent on its surface gives it a dark gray appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

Lypthys-mun's atmosphere is similar to Hihethe Lis's in its primary composition of carbon dioxide and oxygen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. This cold planet is named after the deity Lypthys-mun, the creator of destruction.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to Kepler-331, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 151 days.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Lypthys-mun's hostile surface conditions.

Lypthys-mun can easily be seen from Hihethe Lis with the naked eye, as can its grayish coloring. Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Hihethe Lis, Sutska, and Kepler-331.

In late February 2000, Lypthys-mun was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Lypthys-mun's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Hihethe Lis.

The nice surface is full of friendly but shy yet primordial insects, the "Deucescu Che", which feed in the jungle by seeking plants. Most of them are similar to the Pidsi, have 5 tentacles and vary in size from 50 to 90 mm. Deucescu Che are known to survive temperatures from 140 to 170°C and very low gravity.
