Suggested nameTeneseg
Planet typeHot gas giant
Its orbital period around HATS-31 of 3.4 earth days is the longest of all the planets in its solar system.

The planet is named after the deity Teneseg, the goddess of love and beauty.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Eqitas Amapu.

Two spacecraft have visited Teneseg: Daedalus 8 flew by 53 years ago; and Messenger, launched 23 years ago, orbited Teneseg over 140 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's surface 12 years later.

It is radically different from Earth in other respects. It may have had krypton oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

Two of Teneseg's moons, Seqamu Kev and Ariryca, are are slightly unusually shaped.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the past habitability potential of Teneseg, as well as the possibility of extant life.

In late February 2000, Teneseg was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Teneseg's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Eqitas Amapu.
