Suggested name | Maka-ara |
Planet type | Huge cold gas giant |
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Laenmir-idi, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, often, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.
This huge cold gas giant is named after the deity Maka-ara, the demon of dreams.
It has the densest atmosphere of the two huge cold gas giants, consisting mostly of H2O.
Maka-ara was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.
Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 390 kilometers across when Maka-ara is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
The latest probe to visit the planet is Pioneer, which entered into orbit around Maka-ara after a troublesome ride.
Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Maka-ara approached its equinox 3 years ago. |
