Suggested nameSiprore Far
Planet typeLarge hot gas giant
Its orbital period around Kepler-40 of 6.9 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system.

It is named after the deity Siprore Far, the creator of good fortune.

It may have had ozone oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Siprore Far's surface is a barren desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

Siprore Far was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Siprore Far 1700 and ExoSiprore Far rovers.

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other large hot gas giants, Siprore Far lacks a well-defined magnetic field.

The latest probe to visit the planet is Pioneer, which entered into orbit around Siprore Far after a very expensive trip.

The Siprore Far system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
