SUMMARY
A Planet located close to the Colonia Bridge, with extreme planetary features. A rocky ice world that shouldn't exist.A rocky icy planet with extreme surface temperatures and atmospheric pressure, located close to the Colonia Bridge.
DESCRIPTION

Close to the Colonia Bridge, lays system Nyeajaae NF-T b35-2. It's Third planet is an exceptional Rocky Ice World, as its features are so extreme it's a wonder it fits the category.

Almost completely dark, appearing with a red-ish coloring, Nyeajaae NF-T b35-2 3 has the following list of features that makes it extreme among the rocky ice worlds:

  • A composition of 32.2% Ice, 45.3% Rock and 22.5% Metal (Mostly Sulfur, Iron and Carbon, most likely responsible for its red-black coloring) for:
  • A surface Temperature of 2245°K or 1971°C, being only 49ls away from its star: a M Class red dwarf, barely hotter than the planet orbiting it.
  • An extremely dense Water Athmosphere, totaling almost 142 626 earth athmospheres.
  • Almost half the mass and gravity of the earth, for only 20% less of its radius.

This planet showing no sign of volcanic activity and being composed of almost a third of ice, all the while being hotter than some stars, suggests a dead and icy core, with a surface scorched by an extremely dense athmosphere, making it virtually inaccessible to humanity. While not record-breaking, it still seems like a planet that truly shouldn't exist.

The third planet of this system is classified as a Rocky Ice world. It has extreme characteristics, however: due to runaway greenhouse warming, its has a surface temperature barely lower than the red dwarf star it's orbiting. From above, the planet appears almost completely dark, with some red coloring:

The atmospheric pressure is 142,626 atm, and the average surface temperature of 2,245 K is only slightly lower than its parent star, an M class red dwarf that is 49 ls away. In these conditions, nothing is visible of the surface.

Note that despite all this, the planet shows no signs of volcanic activity. Scanners estimate a mixed composition of 32.2% Ice, 45.3% Rock and 22.5% Metal, hence the planet's classification. Whether surface volcanism is really absent or not might forever remain a mystery though, as these conditions make it virtually impossible to send down anything to the surface intact.
