The outermost planet in the Terra/Sol system, Apollo seems out of place in almost every respect. From its distance of 35Aus from the primary, to its name. In fact astronomers now theorize that this frozen ice ball was actually a wandering planet captured by Sol.

No commercial value has been found for the planet and it is totally unoccupied. No remote scientific satellites even monitor the system. It’s one claim to fame as stated by the famous Orion astronomer, Nigel Pennysworth, “It’s the biggest snowball I’ve ever seen!”
