Fictional info (?) Suggested name Cabanga Planet type Hot planet Cabanga is the only habitable planet orbiting K2-226 and one of the smallest in its solar system. It is named after the deity Cabanga, the bringer of the sea. As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly five times for every three revolutions it makes around K2-226. Two spacecraft have visited Cabanga: Frontier 8 flew by 27 years ago; and Messenger, launched 17 years ago, orbited Cabanga over 60 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's surface 12 years later. Cabanga is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 218°K (-55°C). Cabanga was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC. Cabanga's thick clouds make observation of its surface impossible in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 44 years ago.
