Suggested nameTicarpa Mona
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Ticarpa Mona, the messenger of destruction.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Ticarpa Mona's distance from K2-185 is only about two-thirds (or 43 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

Two spacecraft have visited Ticarpa Mona: Wayfinder 7 flew by 15 years ago; and Messenger, launched 20 years ago, orbited Ticarpa Mona over 120 times in four years before exhausting its pwoer source and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 7 years later.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the future terraforming potential of Ticarpa Mona, as well as the possibility of extant life.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 480 kilometers across when Ticarpa Mona is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
