Eklan

Eklan is a fictional planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. It is known for its unique geological formations, characterized by towering crystal spires that reach into the atmosphere. The planet's surface is predominantly composed of silicate-based minerals, giving rise to the crystalline structures.

The atmosphere of Eklan is thin and rich in argon, with trace amounts of methane. This atmospheric composition results in a dim, violet hue to the sky, especially during the planet's long twilight periods. Eklan experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, with scorching heat on its sun-facing side and sub-zero temperatures on the terminator.

Life on Eklan, if it exists, is theorized to be highly adapted to these harsh conditions. Preliminary scans suggest the possibility of subterranean microbial life, thriving in geothermally active regions. The planet's gravitational pull is approximately 0.7 times that of Earth.

Eklan orbits a K-type star, slightly cooler and smaller than Earth's Sun. Its orbital period is considerably longer than Earth's year, resulting in extended seasons. The planet's axial tilt is minimal, leading to less pronounced seasonal variations compared to planets with significant tilts. Further exploration of Eklan is ongoing, with a focus on understanding its geological history and potential for extraterrestrial life.
