The star HD 153950 is named Rapeto. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Madagascar, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Rapeto is a giant creature from Malagasy tales.[3][4]
Planetary system
In October 2008, an exoplanet of the star was discovered. This object was detected using the radial velocity method by search programs conducted using the HARPS spectrograph.[5] It has a mass roughly 2.73 times of Jupiter and potentially orbits in the habitable zone of its parent star.

gollark: On your actual computer: Download the Windows ZIP from the releases page, open command prompt in the same folder, then run the kristforge EXE or whatever with the address as the argument.
gollark: `/deposit --mining` is to be run ingame.
gollark: Really? You might have to use the `/deposit --mining` address then, yes.
gollark: `./kristforge the_shadow_yt@switchcraft.kst` or something.
gollark: With most krist miners.
