Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameRosalind
Planet typeCold gas giant
It is named after the deity Rosalind, the bringer of the sea.

When viewed from Dome Trin, this proximity to Kepler-1654 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

An observer on Rosalind would therefore see only one winter every five years.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 15 bar, or roughly the pressure found 855 m under the oceans of Dome Trin.

Rosalind's thick atmosphere make observation of its surface challenging in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 30 years ago.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
