They said Altamid was on the other side of the nebula. When did they say it was inside it? 99.6.9.145 01:31, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
- It wasn't. The Enterprise passed through the nebula to get there. It was clearly very close, but it was on the other side. 31dot (talk) 02:33, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
Which is it? Is Altamid in a less dense region of the nebula or outside of it on the opposite side of Starbase Yorktown? 99.6.9.145 06:04, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
- I took the nebula to mean the region of asteroids/rocks they passed through and the planet was on the other side. 31dot (talk) 09:32, August 13, 2016 (UTC)

== Planetary data ==
=== Orbital characteristics ===
The planet had a maximum distance ([[aphelion]], or major axis) of 0.466 397 [[astronomical unit|AU]] (69,816,900 [[kilometer|km]]) and a minimum distance ([[periphelion]]) of 0.307 499 AU (46,001,200 km) from the system's [[star|primary]]. Furthermore, the planet had an [[eccentricity]] of 0.205 630<sup>[3]</sup>, a [[synodic period]] of 115.88 [[day]]s <sup>[3]</sup>, and an [[orbital period]] of 87.9691 days (0.240 846 [[year]]).
=== Physical attributes ===
The planet had a [[mean radius]] of 2439.7 ± 1.0 km (.03829 Earths), a [[flattening]] of 0<sup>(3)</sup>, a [[surface area]] of 7.48 x 107 km2 <sup>6</sup> (0.147 Earths), a [[mean density]] of 5.427 [[grams per centimeter|g/cm]]<sup>3(3)</sup>, a [[volume]] of 6.083 x 10<sup>10</sup> km<sup>3</sup>, and a [[mass]] of 3.3022 x 10 [[kilograms|kg]] (0.055 Earths).
=== Gravity Analysis ===
The planet had a [[surface gravity]] of 17 [[meter per second squared|m/s2]] (0.38 [[gram]]), an [[inertia factor]] of 0.346 ± 0.014, a [[right ascension]] of 18 [[hour]]s 44 [[minute]]s 2 [[second]]s (281.01°), an [[escape velocity]] of 4.25 [[kilometer per second|km/s]] <sup>(1)</sup>, a [[rotation period]] of 58.646 days (1407.5 hours), and a rotation velocity of 10.892 [[kilometer per hour|km/h]] (3.026 [[meter per second|m/s]].
=== Atmospheric Readiness ===
Two locations of this planet were measured for surface [[temperature]]. At the first location, 0°N, 0°W, the minimum was 100 [[Kelvin|K]], the mean was 340 K, and the maximum was 700 K. At the second location, 85°N, 0°W, the minimum was 80 K, the mean was 200 K, and the maximum was 380 K.
The planet had a trace surface [[pressure]].
The [[atmopshere]]'s composition consisted of 42% molecular [[oxygen]], 29.0% [[sodium]], 22.0% [[hydrogen]], 6.0% [[helium]],and 0.5% [[potassium]].

I have removed this section - a section I created - for I learned recently that this information is nearly a direct copy of information about the planet Mercury at Wikipedia.'[1]' Check the sidebar. I do not feel comfortable in keeping this section in the article itself for it describes a world which is contrarian in all respects to what is known about Altamid.--Memphis77 (talk) 14:03, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
- Well, if it's visible onscreen in the final cut of the film, then it goes in the article, possibly with a cited note mentioning the Mercury information. --LauraCC (talk) 15:50, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
- I agree that if it's visible on screen, it should be in the article. I'm sure that to Starfleet's planetologists it makes perfect sense ;) -- Capricorn (talk) 13:38, April 19, 2018 (UTC)
- Was this visible on screen though, or was an unreadable block of text and numbers on screen? We know for a fact that some of the contents were changed from the versions that are on that site to the the versions used in the film, so as far as I'm concerned it's interesting background information, but unless you can read it in the film without already knowing what it says, it's not something we should consider "canon". - Archduk3 14:03, April 19, 2018 (UTC)
