Suggested nameLyterir-bauti
Planet typeCold planet
Lyterir-bauti is the fourth planet from Kepler-1140 and the second-smallest planet in its solar system.

This cold planet is named after the deity Lyterir-bauti, the god of chaos.

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 165°K (-108°C) at night to 525°K (252°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

Two spacecraft have visited Lyterir-bauti: Frontier 6 flew by 24 years ago; and Messenger, launched 17 years ago, orbited Lyterir-bauti over 175 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's surface 11 years later.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Lyterir-bauti 3300 and ExoLyterir-bauti rovers.

A prominent result is the "great orange spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.
