Suggested nameMepyashi
Planet typeSmall gas planet
Mepyashi is the fourth planet from K2-24 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system.

This small gas planet is named after the deity Mepyashi, the messenger of dreams.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
