Suggested nameKolel-afuru
Planet typeHot planet
Its orbital period around KOI-4777 of 0.41 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system. In English, Kolel-afuru is often referred to as the "brown planet" because the sulfur dioxide prevalent on its surface gives it a deep brown appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

The interior of Kolel-afuru is mainly composed of ices and stone. This hot planet is named after the deity Kolel-afuru, the spirit of destruction.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to KOI-4777, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 157 days.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Kolel-afuru due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 3 percent of Juqacet's, except at the highest elevations for limited periods.

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other hot planets, Kolel-afuru lacks a well-defined atmosphere.

In 2880, images from Wayfinder 7 showed Kolel-afuru as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other hot planets.
