Fictional info (?) Suggested name Qeqaracal Cyl Planet type Cold planet For this reason, scientists often classify Qeqaracal Cyl and Lipro Briel as "cold planets" to distinguish them from the other planets. It is named after the deity Qeqaracal Cyl, the god of hate. Like Lipro Briel, Qeqaracal Cyl has been orbiting BD+55 362 for @STARAGE billion years, and never moves more than 23 degrees away from BD+55 362. Qeqaracal Cyl's surface appears slightly rippled and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years. The polar regions are constantly below 306°K (33°C). Two spacecraft have visited Qeqaracal Cyl: Frontier 4 flew by 47 years ago; and Messenger, launched 14 years ago, orbited Qeqaracal Cyl over 70 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 4 years later. Qeqaracal Cyl is a cold planet and is sometimes called Lipro Briel's "twin planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to BD+55 362, and bulk composition. In November 1200, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Qeqaracal Cyl. The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. Qeqaracal Cyl has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Frontier flyby missions and later by the Isaac orbiter. In 2483, images from Frontier 4 showed Qeqaracal Cyl as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other cold planets.
