Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameForncu
Planet typeCold planet
Its orbital period around PSR B1257+12 of 25 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to PSR B1257+12 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around PSR B1257+12.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 75°K (-198°C) at night to 560°K (287°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

It has the densest atmosphere of any cold planets, consisting primarily of ozone.
