Fictional info (?) Suggested name Minome-raq Planet type Cold planet When viewed from Casiidi'pan, Minome-raq can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. This planet is named after the deity Minome-raq, the spirit of prosperity. The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to K2-178, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 64 days. An observer on Minome-raq would therefore see only one day every five years. Minome-raq's surface is a arid desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism. A prominent result is the "great green spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner. The latest probe to visit the planet is Racer, which entered into orbit around Minome-raq after a problematic journey.
