Suggested nameBugo
Planet typeSmall cold gas planet
Bugo has been known to astronomers since the beginning of the space age. This planet is named after the deity Bugo, the spirit of the sea.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to Kepler-62, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 116 days.

Bugo is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Bugo are likewise similar to those of Redu-cexe Xe, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 24 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

Bugo can easily be seen from Redu-cexe Xe with the naked eye, as can its yellowish coloring.
