Suggested nameQaxwa-fyidyuan
Planet typeWarm planet
This planet is named after the deity Qaxwa-fyidyuan, the messenger of chaos.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly two times for every four revolutions it makes around K2-159.

Qaxwa-fyidyuan has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Wayfinder flyby missions and later by the Hawking orbiter.
