Suggested nameKyokubyo
Planet typePlanet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Teme, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

Kyokubyo is similar in composition to Teme, and both have different bulk chemical composition from that of the larger planets. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 33°K (-240°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with carbon dioxide thought to make up the lowest clouds, and water the uppermost layer of clouds. This planet is named after the deity Kyokubyo, the goddess of fear.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 175°K (-98°C) at night to 560°K (287°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

It is radically different from Teme in other respects.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the past habitability potential of Kyokubyo, as well as the possibility of extant life.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 405 kilometers across when Kyokubyo is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
