Fictional info (?) Suggested name Wasyinx Planet type Terrestrial The interior of Wasyinx is mainly composed of ices and rock. It is named after the deity Wasyinx, the goddess of war. The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to Kepler-312, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 180 days. Wasyinx's surface appears quite rippled and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years. Two spacecraft have visited Wasyinx: Wayfinder 3 flew by 23 years ago; and Messenger, launched 15 years ago, orbited Wasyinx over 160 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 8 years later. It has the densest atmosphere of any terrestrials, consisting mostly of sulfur dioxide. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Wasyinx are likewise similar to those of Qyeg, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Wasyinx is the site of Celestium Montanus, 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. The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. In late February 3400, Wasyinx was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Wasyinx's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Qyeg.
