Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameSobahyo
Planet typeHot planet
Sobahyo 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. Sobahyo is orbiting HD 215497 every 3.9 Earth days.

This planet is named after the deity Sobahyo, the spirit of fear.

When viewed from Geshuyo, this proximity to HD 215497 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Sobahyo's distance from HD 215497 is only about two-thirds (or 112 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

It has the densest atmosphere of all the hot planets, consisting of huge amounts of formaldehyde.

Sobahyo's thick atmosphere make observation of its surface challenging in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 42 years ago.
