Fictional info (?) Suggested name Kagala-theltar Planet type Planet Kagala-theltar is the fourth planet from Kepler-126 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Uqkaca, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, sometimes, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. Kagala-theltar has been known to astronomers since the beginning of the space age. The planet is named after the deity Kagala-theltar, the demon of love and beauty. Like Uqkaca, Kagala-theltar has been orbiting Kepler-126 within Caleury's orbit as an inferior planet, and never moves more than 30 degrees away from Kepler-126. The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to Kepler-126, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 174 days. Kagala-theltar's thick atmosphere make observation of its surface difficult in infrared light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 52 years ago. The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. In 2185, images from Frontier 6 showed Kagala-theltar as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other planets.
