As a life-hosting world around a neutron star, BooHoo is very close to its star and experiences a great deal of radiation and heat, as well as a tidal lock that makes it a radioactive desert in the hemisphere that points towards the star and an icy desert the hemisphere that points towards the icy void of space. The only habitable zone is a twilight strip between these two hemispheres, where light and heat are sufficient to melt water but not so intense to irradiate the region, making the prospects for development and the continuation of life optimal.
The name “BooHoo” of the planet comes from the frightened scientists who had to cut their expedition short following an encounter with its hostile life and from the ancestral strigiform call “Hoo-Hoo”.
