| Maor is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Maor is orbiting OGLE-2017-BLG-0373L every @ORBITALPERIOD Earth days. It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
It is a cold planet planet with a mass one-thousandth that of OGLE-2017-BLG-0373L, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 60°K (-213°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with sulfur dioxide thought to make up the lowest clouds, and hydrogen chloride the uppermost layer of clouds. The planet is named after the deity Maor, the creator of prosperity.
It may have had hydrogen peroxide oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect. |
