Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameBegito'ya
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Begito'ya, the messenger of the sky.

Begito'ya is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. It may have had hydrogen peroxide oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

In November 1500, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Begito'ya.
