Suggested name | Rwaic Ou |
Planet type | Cold planet |
It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets. Orbiting within Yuebwan Twan's orbit, Rwaic Ou is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from Kepler-859; its maximum angular distance from Kepler-859 (elongation) is 53 degrees.
This cold planet is named after the deity Rwaic Ou, the spirit of war.
As seen from Kepler-859, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.
In November 1800, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Rwaic Ou.
In late February 1000, Rwaic Ou was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Rwaic Ou's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Yuebwan Twan. |
