| Suggested name | Tecar |
| Planet type | Planet |
| It is named after the deity Tecar, the goddess of prosperity.
As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly five times for every three revolutions it makes around Kepler-359. An observer on Tecar would therefore see only one day every four years.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Tecar's distance from Kepler-359 is only about two-thirds (or 112 pct) of its distance at aphelion.
As the closest planet to Sponbos Noe, Tecar has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration.
In November 1700, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Tecar.
Tecar has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Hawking orbiter. |
