Suggested namePothys-ste
Planet typeCold planet
Pothys-ste is the fourth planet from Kepler-878 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system. Pothys-ste is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Pothys-ste is orbiting Kepler-878 every 26 Earth days.

It is named after the deity Pothys-ste, the spirit of the sea.

As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Pothys-ste has been a major fixture in native folklore for as long as records have existed.

Pothys-ste's dense clouds render observation of its surface challenging in infrared light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 68 years ago.

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of ice.

In 2383, images from Daedalus 6 showed Pothys-ste as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other cold planets.
