Suggested nameMemejot Ymir
Planet typeCold planet
Memejot Ymir has been known to astronomers since the beginning of the space age. This cold planet is named after the deity Memejot Ymir, the goddess 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 EPIC 206317286, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 93 days.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 15 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Memejot Ymir due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 4 percent of Earth's, except at the highest elevations for short periods.

Surrounding Memejot Ymir is a irregular planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.

Memejot Ymir has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Wayfinder flyby missions and later by the Galileo orbiter. In late February 1200, Memejot Ymir was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Memejot Ymir's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Tayiavi Lene.
