Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameShibopi
Planet typeCold planet
It is named after the deity Shibopi, the bringer of chaos.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to 7 CMa, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 75 days.

As seen from 7 CMa, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Shibopi's distance from 7 CMa is only about two-thirds (or 43 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

As the closest planet to Dapoki'omyo, Shibopi has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration.
