Suggested nameHyochi Pebya
Planet typePlanet
Hyochi Pebya and Keichi Za are planets rich in rock. The planet is named after the deity Hyochi Pebya, the spirit of destruction.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to K2-48 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 60°K (-213°C) at night to 455°K (182°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of ice.
