ATNAS

AT-nass

"It's not a Haumea ripoff I swear"

Fast spinning minor planet with dark blue rings and a strange purplely-blueish colouration. The dark ridge encircling the equator is likely formed by recent cryovolcanic activity ejecting dust which has been pulled to the equator by centrifugal force. No substantial evidence has been found which might indicate any current cryovolcanic activity on the surface, though this likely just means Atnas at this moment in time is dormant. It is likely that Atnas goes though cycles of cryovolcanic activity and inactivity, alternating between the two every couple century, no mechanism for this cycle has been confirmed yet though most scientists believe the gravitation from Atnas' only moon, Sualc, likely has an effect on the internals of Atnas due to Sualc's close orbit and high gravity, about a quarter that of Atnas'.

A large crater likely formed by a comet impact lies along the equatorial ridge and seems to have been partially filled in by the dust.
