Suggested nameLaopho Psa
Planet typeTerrestrial
This terrestrial is named after the deity Laopho Psa, the messenger of love and beauty.

The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to K2-62, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 180 days.

Laopho Psa's axis has the smallest tilt of any of its solar system's planets.

As one of the brightest objects in the sky, Laopho Psa has been a major inspiration in native culture for as long as records have existed.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 33 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.
