Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameMaska
Planet typeSmall cold gas planet
Maska 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. Maska is orbiting KMT-2021-BLG-0712 every @ORBITALPERIOD Earth days.

It is named after the deity Maska, the creator of the sea.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to KMT-2021-BLG-0712, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 151 days.

Maska's dense clouds render observation of its surface challenging in ultraviolet light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 68 years ago.

Two of Maska's moons, Hybosbauti Cisco and Jarnmir, are are very unusually shaped.

Maska is primarily composed of ozone with a significant part of its mass being formaldehyde, though formaldehyde comprises only about a limited amount of the number of molecules. A prominent result is the "great orange spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first seen by telescope.
