Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameRyafu Shi
Planet typeWarm planet
Ryafu Shi is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Ryafu Shi is orbiting HD 159243 every 13 Earth days.

When viewed from Gyupyo, Ryafu Shi can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. It is named after the deity Ryafu Shi, the demon of nature.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Gyupyo.

Two of Ryafu Shi's moons, Gezo Futsu Kyo and Geraro Zuchi'ge, are are slightly irregularly shaped.

The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in the Black Sea.

In late February 3300, Ryafu Shi was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Ryafu Shi's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Gyupyo.

Planet is said to have odd terraformed plants known to survive in the forest by consuming a substance called "Nagu" if the weather permits it. They are believed to be similar to the Kekyu To but have wings and vary in length from 50 to 70 cm. The Pyue Myoso Sha are able to endure temperatures from 90 to 120°C and even drought which is common on this planet.
