Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameOrixjot
Planet typeCold planet
This planet is named after the deity Orixjot, the demon of hate.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to HIP 79431, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 197 days.

Orixjot's surface appears quite cratered and is similar in appearance to the Moon's, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 6 meters.
