Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameKakyu-shota
Planet typeSmall warm gas planet
This small warm gas planet is named after the deity Kakyu-shota, the god of the underworld.

An observer on Kakyu-shota would therefore see only one summer every three years.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 75°K (-198°C) at night to 455°K (182°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
