Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameTiwax Isin
Planet typeCold planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Nudefe-r, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

This cold planet is named after the deity Tiwax Isin, the bringer of the sea.

Tiwax Isin is a cold planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to mu Ara, and bulk composition.

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

In late February 3000, Tiwax Isin was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Tiwax Isin's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Nudefe-r.

The Tiwax Isin system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
