Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameShaja Ma
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Shaja Ma, the spirit of hate.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to HD 140901, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 191 days.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly five times for every three revolutions it makes around HD 140901.

Shaja Ma's hazy clouds make observation of its surface impossible in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 32 years ago.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Shaja Ma are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.

In 1490, images from Wayfinder 5 showed Shaja Ma as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other cold planets.
