Suggested nameBibu
Planet typeCold planet
This cold planet is named after the deity Bibu, the bringer of prosperity.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to Kepler-1238 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

The nitrogen has probably photodissociated, and the free oxygen has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field.

Bibu was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.

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