Planet VY-194, colloquially known as "Quicksilver," presents a striking view from space. Its surface gleams with a silvery luster, attributed to its extensive deserts composed of fine, metallic sands that reflect sunlight with an intense sheen. Size-wise, it falls within Earth’s median, yet its atmosphere is thin and primarily composed of argon and nitrogen, with trace sulphuric compounds lending a pale yellow cast to the sky. The surface is harsh and dynamic. VY-194's quicksilver sands flow like liquid over vast dunes, driven by powerful electric storms that sweep across the planet. These storms, visible in sequences of atmospheric imaging, generate spectacular light displays and cause rapid, transient topographical changes across the landscape. The planet's minimal gravitational pull further accentuates the fluid-like motion of its sands, creating an ever-shifting terrain that is both mesmerizing and volatile.
