Suggested name | Shaha'mo |
Planet type | Hot planet |
When viewed from Zayapu Ho, Shaha'mo can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. It is named after the deity Shaha'mo, the spirit of dreams.
Shaha'mo is a hot planet and is sometimes called Zayapu Ho's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to Kepler-162, and bulk composition. It has the densest atmosphere of the three hot planets, consisting partly of carbon dioxide. Shaha'mo's surface is a barren desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.
It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Superior. |
