Asterope IV

Tundra
No survey data available. This world remains unexplored.
The ice sheets of Asterope IV stretch to every horizon in shades of blue-white that would make a poet weep—or perhaps that's just the methane-rich atmosphere playing tricks on tired eyes after months in the black. The subsurface geothermal activity creates these haunting steam vents that carve spiral patterns into the frozen crust, a landscape caught between inferno and deep freeze that I've never quite seen replicated, even after Kepler-442b. Worth a full survey, though the cold will be hell on the equipment.
