Suggested nameNenal-atyr
Planet typeHot planet
When viewed from Neza, Nenal-atyr 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. This hot planet is named after the deity Nenal-atyr, the spirit of the sky.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 0.08 bar, or roughly the pressure found 945 m under the oceans of Earth.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 11 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other hot planets, Nenal-atyr lacks a well-defined solid surface.
