Suggested name | Zakezo-yu |
Planet type | Huge cold gas giant |
This planet is named after the deity Zakezo-yu, the demon of good fortune.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Zakezo-yu's distance from QZ Lib is only about two-thirds (or 46 pct) of its distance at aphelion. Zakezo-yu's surface appears heavily scarred and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.
Zakezo-yu is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 435°K (162°C). The formaldehyde has probably photodissociated, and the free ammonia has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a hydrogen deuteride (HD) layer.
There are ongoing investigations assessing the future terraforming potential of Zakezo-yu, as well as the possibility of extant life.
A prominent result is the "great yellow spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.
In 1390, images from Daedalus 7 showed Zakezo-yu as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other huge cold gas giants. |
