Suggested name | Shai'fwen'h |
Planet type | Cold planet |
Its orbital period around Kepler-995 of 28 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system.
This planet is named after the deity Shai'fwen'h, the spirit of chaos.
It has the densest atmosphere of the cold planets, consisting of huge amounts of ethane.
It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 315 kilometers across when Shai'fwen'h is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
Shai'fwen'h is primarily composed of ethane with a significant part of its mass being hydrogen chloride, though hydrogen chloride comprises only about a tiny amount of the number of molecules. A prominent result is the "great brown spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner. |
