Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Kotezu Yu |
Planet type | Cold planet |
This cold planet is named after the deity Kotezu Yu, the demon of love and beauty.
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 1085°K (812°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.
Two spacecraft have visited Kotezu Yu: Daedalus 3 flew by 27 years ago; and Messenger, launched 16 years ago, orbited Kotezu Yu over 75 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's surface 5 years later.
Kotezu Yu's dense atmosphere make observation of its surface challenging in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 22 years ago. |
