Fictional info (?) Suggested name Mepepyu Myu Planet type Cold planet Mepepyu Myu 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. Mepepyu Myu is orbiting PSR J1745+1017 every 0.73 Earth days. Mepepyu Myu is similar in composition to Yobyapya Ba, and both have different bulk chemical composition from that of the larger cold planets. It is named after the deity Mepepyu Myu, the goddess of the sea. Mepepyu Myu is gravitationally locked with PSR J1745+1017 in a 2:1 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system. It may have had 2H2O oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 10 meters. Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Mepepyu Myu approached its equinox 4 years ago.
