Suggested nameMazua Nko
Planet typeHot planet
In English, Mazua Nko is often referred to as the "yellow planet" because the carbon monoxide prevalent on its surface gives it a slight yellow appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

Mazua Nko is the closest planet to K2-133 and one of the oldest in its solar system. This hot planet is named after the deity Mazua Nko, the bringer of dreams.

When viewed from Sugeza Goryu, this proximity to K2-133 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

An observer on Mazua Nko would therefore see only one day every four years.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 145°K (-128°C) at night to 560°K (287°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

Mazua Nko is the site of Robusto Ridge, the most active volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.
