| Suggested name | Wyno'x |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| The planet is named after the deity Wyno'x, the demon of dreams.
Wyno'x is gravitationally locked with Kepler-1291 in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.
It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
There are ongoing investigations assessing the future terraforming potential of Wyno'x, as well as the possibility of extant life. |
