Suggested name | Shocho-ryubi |
Planet type | Cold planet |
This planet is named after the deity Shocho-ryubi, the creator of war.
Two spacecraft have visited Shocho-ryubi: Wayfinder 8 flew by 21 years ago; and Messenger, launched 14 years ago, orbited Shocho-ryubi over 90 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 7 years later.
Shocho-ryubi is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.
Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Shocho-ryubi's strong magnetosphere.
The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of sand.
The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. |
