Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Aqepotu-duha |
Planet type | Large cold gas giant |
The planet is named after the deity Aqepotu-duha, the goddess of the underworld.
Two spacecraft have visited Aqepotu-duha: Frontier 7 flew by 32 years ago; and Messenger, launched 13 years ago, orbited Aqepotu-duha over 90 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 9 years later.
Aqepotu-duha was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.
As the closest planet to Oriteleh, Aqepotu-duha has been a prime target for early extra solar exploration.
The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in Earth's oceans.
A prominent result is the "great brown spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first seen by telescope.
Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators. |
