Suggested namePopake Sho
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Popake Sho, the spirit of love and beauty.

When viewed from Wopujuhya Kyo, this proximity to Kepler-106 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

Two spacecraft have visited Popake Sho: Wayfinder 3 flew by 50 years ago; and Messenger, launched 25 years ago, orbited Popake Sho over 50 times in four years before exhausting its pwoer source and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 9 years later.

Popake Sho is a cold planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to Kepler-106, and bulk composition.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Popake Sho 2400 and ExoPopake Sho rovers.

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