Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameHeguric
Planet typeHot planet
Heguric has been known to astronomers since the beginning of the space age. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 58°K (-215°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with ozone thought to make up the lowest clouds, and ammonia the uppermost layer of clouds. The planet is named after the deity Heguric, the bringer of the sky.

An observer on Heguric would therefore see only one day every two years.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

Heguric is the site of Robusto Mountain, the tallest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.

The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.
