| Suggested name | Latel |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| Latel is similar in composition to Jory Xo, and both have different bulk chemical composition from that of the larger cold planets. This cold planet is named after the deity Latel, the creator of prosperity.
Like Jory Xo, Latel has been orbiting TOI-5238 within Turosi's orbit as an inferior planet, and never moves more than 14 degrees away from TOI-5238.
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 70°K (-203°C) at night to 770°K (497°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.
It is radically different from Earth in other respects. It has the densest atmosphere of the two cold planets, consisting partly of 2H2O.
Latel can easily be seen from Jory Xo with the naked eye, as can its redish coloring. Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 525 kilometers across when Latel is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.
A prominent result is the "great gray spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.
Latel 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. |
