Fictional info (?) Suggested name Skollthys-be Planet type Cold planet It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Dustipe Ti, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, sometimes, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. It is named after the deity Skollthys-be, the creator of good fortune. An observer on Skollthys-be would therefore see only one day every five years. Two spacecraft have visited Skollthys-be: Wayfinder 7 flew by 21 years ago; and Messenger, launched 13 years ago, orbited Skollthys-be over 60 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 9 years later. It may have had argon oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect. There are ongoing investigations assessing the future terraforming potential of Skollthys-be, as well as the possibility of extant life. Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Dustipe Ti, Gapro, and Kepler-742.
