Suggested nameYocou Bo
Planet typeCold planet
The planet is named after the deity Yocou Bo, the god of nature.

Yocou Bo is gravitationally locked with Kepler-520 in a 5:4 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

The formaldehyde has probably photodissociated, and the free ammonia has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a hydrogen deuteride (HD) layer.

Yocou Bo's thick clouds make observation of its surface challenging in infrared light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 68 years ago.
