Suggested nameXaojyou-pyan
Planet typeCold planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Yecengf Ying, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

The planet is named after the deity Xaojyou-pyan, the creator of good fortune.

Like Yecengf Ying, Xaojyou-pyan has been orbiting Kepler-1610 for 4.7 billion years, and never exceeds 21 degrees away from Kepler-1610.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly four times for every five revolutions it makes around Kepler-1610.

Two spacecraft have visited Xaojyou-pyan: Frontier 10 flew by 45 years ago; and Messenger, launched 8 years ago, orbited Xaojyou-pyan over 115 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's surface 7 years later.

Xaojyou-pyan's thick clouds render observation of its surface impossible in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 52 years ago.

Xaojyou-pyan is primarily composed of ammonia with a significant part of its mass being krypton, though krypton comprises only about a tiny fraction of the number of molecules.
