Fictional info (?) Suggested name Nanyang Planet type Cold planet When viewed from Yying Kwei, Nanyang can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. It is named after the deity Nanyang, the messenger of dreams. Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Nanyang's distance from Kepler-981 is only about two-thirds (or 66 pct) of its distance at aphelion. Nanyang was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 15 meters.
