Suggested nameUqgreip
Planet typeSmall hot gas planet
Its orbital period around TOI-2000 of 3.1 earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system. Uqgreip is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Uqgreip is orbiting TOI-2000 every 3.1 Earth days.

This small hot gas planet is named after the deity Uqgreip, the bringer of dreams.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to TOI-2000 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

Two spacecraft have visited Uqgreip: Wayfinder 5 flew by 47 years ago; and Messenger, launched 11 years ago, orbited Uqgreip over 165 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 10 years later.

Uqgreip is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

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

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 225 kilometers across when Uqgreip is closest because of Tarariel's atmosphere.

Observations from Earth have shown seasonal change and increased weather activity as Uqgreip approached its equinox 6 years ago.
