Suggested nameNomiaporie
Planet typeCold planet
Nomiaporie is the strangest and most well-known planet in its solar system. It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets. Orbiting within Ophece Ce's orbit, Nomiaporie is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from Kepler-1121; its maximum angular distance from Kepler-1121 (elongation) is 74 degrees.

It is named after the deity Nomiaporie, the messenger of the underworld.

Nomiaporie is by far the hottest planet in its solar system, with a mean surface temperature of 413°K (140°C). The argon has probably photodissociated, and the free molecular hydrogen has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field. Nomiaporie's surface is a arid desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

As the closest planet to Ophece Ce, Nomiaporie has been a prime target for early extra solar exploration. Nomiaporie's dense clouds make observation of its surface challenging in ultraviolet light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 52 years ago.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Nomiaporie due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 6 percent of Earth's, except at the lowest elevations for limited periods.

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

Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Nomiaporie approached its equinox 5 years ago.
