Description
Name: Menir (men-ear)
Mass: 2.76 earths
Radius: 1.35 earths
Gravity: 1.51 earths
Semi-Major Axis: 2.47 au (230 million miles)
Moons: 3 (Moyne, Maryot, Murs)
Year: 1,366 earth days (3.7 years)
Host Star: 1 G-class star (1.09 solar masses)
Temperature: -59.8 F (-51 C)

Planet Menir is the first planet to be covered in my book, The Teeming Universe: An Extraterrestrial Field Guide. For the book, before I got into the more extravagant and complex life forms that come later, I wanted to cover microbiology. Microscopic life, from the context of speculative biology, is not given a lot of attention by the community, which is why chapter 1 is all about microscopic organisms.

Menir, located 23 light years from the Solar System, is the fourth and outermost planet in the Menira System. From first glance, the world is all but dead, looking like a larger and grayer Mars. Menir is distinct from many larger-than-earth exoplanets in that its geological core is partially dead; this is a result of the lack of any true distinction from the crust, mantle and core, and because of this large parts of the world are geologically void.

As a result of this phenomenon, the super-earth's magnetosphere is greatly diminished, meaning a high quantity of the star's radiation is able to hit the world's surface. This also results in a considerably thinner atmosphere than what's on Earth, with it only being around 40 percent in comparison. As you can see an overwhelming majority of the planet's surface is covered in solid ice and bare rock, due to the world being a distant 230 million miles from its parent sun. However, there are also small bodies of water on the planets surface, which are kept in liquid form thanks to it being mixed with hydrogen peroxide, H202, resulting in a supercooled liquid mixture. Hydrogen peroxide occurs in such great amount thanks to biological replenishing, from native life forms that will be covered here later.
