Fictional info (?)
Suggested name		Melia
Planet type		Small hot gas planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Hervi, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, sometimes, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 60°K (-213°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with nitrogen thought to make up the lowest clouds, and ethane the uppermost layer of clouds. This planet is named after the deity Melia, the spirit of love and beauty. Because of its fast rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).
Atmosphere	Ethane	64%
Atmosphere	Nitrogen	35%
