Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameUrizu-japu
Planet typeCold planet
Urizu-japu is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Urizu-japu is orbiting HD 204313 every 35 Earth days. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Minyopo Pya, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, sometimes, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

This planet is named after the deity Urizu-japu, the creator of fear.

The polar regions are constantly below 189°K (-84°C).

Urizu-japu's thick 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 62 years ago.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Urizu-japu are likewise similar to those of Minyopo Pya, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.

The latest probe to visit the planet is Pointer, which entered into orbit around Urizu-japu after a tricky journey.
