Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameBipa
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Bipa, the bringer of the underworld.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Shazu.

Bipa is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 239°K (-34°C). Bipa is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. The molecular hydrogen has probably photodissociated, and the free hydrogen peroxide has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a hydrogen layer.

As the closest planet to Shazu, Bipa has been a prime target for early extra solar exploration.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 315 kilometers across when Bipa is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
