Suggested nameLaopho Psa
Planet typeTerrestrial
The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to K2-62, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 180 days.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 33 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
