Suggested nameTanibu
Planet typeCold planet
Tanibu and Ehapiny are cold planets rich in iron. This cold planet is named after the deity Tanibu, the messenger of love and beauty.

Tanibu is gravitationally locked with HD 62509 in a 5:4 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

Tanibu's hazy atmosphere make observation of its surface challenging in ultraviolet light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 36 years ago.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 34 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
