Fictional info (?) Suggested name Kahikyu Planet type Cold planet This cold planet is named after the deity Kahikyu, the messenger of fear. Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Kahikyu's distance from HD 5278 is only about two-thirds (or 99 pct) of its distance at aphelion. Two spacecraft have visited Kahikyu: Daedalus 4 flew by 53 years ago; and Messenger, launched 17 years ago, orbited Kahikyu over 80 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's surface 11 years later. Kahikyu is the site of Titanic Ridge, the tallest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system. In November 3500, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Kahikyu.
