Monitavu

Monitavu is a fictional celestial body featured in the science fiction novel "Echoes of the Void" by author Anya Sharma. It is described as a rogue planet, meaning it does not orbit a star and drifts through interstellar space. The planet is notable for its unusually stable internal temperature, attributed to a unique geological composition that generates significant geothermal energy.

The surface of Monitavu is characterized by vast, subterranean oceans beneath a thick crust of silicate rock. These oceans are believed to harbor complex microbial life, adapted to the high-pressure, lightless environment. Exploratory missions from Earth have detected unusual energy signatures emanating from the planet, leading to speculation about advanced life forms or undiscovered natural phenomena. The atmospheric composition is primarily nitrogen and methane, with trace amounts of other gases.

Monitavu's trajectory is unpredictable, making long-term study challenging. Its discovery has sparked debate within the scientific community regarding the potential for life on exoplanets and the prevalence of rogue planets in the galaxy. The planet serves as a central element in the novel's plot, driving the narrative of a search for habitable worlds and the mysteries of the cosmos.
