Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameOrtho Tidei
Planet typeCold planet
It is named after the deity Ortho Tidei, the demon of the sky.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly four times for every two revolutions it makes around Kepler-1585.

Two spacecraft have visited Ortho Tidei: Wayfinder 5 flew by 20 years ago; and Messenger, launched 10 years ago, orbited Ortho Tidei over 85 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 5 years later.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 255 kilometers across when Ortho Tidei is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.

The Ortho Tidei system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
