| Suggested name | Lamaka |
| Planet type | Hot planet |
| Lamaka's atmosphere is similar to Mekana's in its primary composition of oxygen and ethane, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. The planet is named after the deity Lamaka, the messenger of prosperity.
An observer on Lamaka would therefore see only one summer every three years.
Lamaka's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.
Lamaka was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.
Lamaka can easily be seen from Mekana with the naked eye, as can its blackish coloring.
In 1887, images from Frontier 4 showed Lamaka as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other hot planets. |
