HD 104985 b, also named Meztli {{IPAc-en|'|m|E|s|t|l|i}}, is an extrasolar planet approximately 97 parsecs (317 lys) from the Sun. The 198-day period planet orbits the yellow giant star HD 104985 (Tonatiuh) at a distance of 0.78 AU. With a mass 61/3 times Jupiter it is a gas giant.
Following its discovery in 2003 the planet was designated HD 104985 b. In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched NameExoWorlds, a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars.[http://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau1404/ NameExoWorlds: An IAU Worldwide Contest to Name Exoplanets and their Host Stars]. IAU.org. 9 July 2014 The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names.{{Cite web |url=http://nameexoworlds.iau.org/process |title=NameExoWorlds The Process |access-date=2015-09-05 |archive-date=2015-08-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150815025117/http://nameexoworlds.iau.org/process |url-status=dead }} In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning name was Meztli for this planet.[http://www.iau.org/news/pressreleases/detail/iau1514/ Final Results of NameExoWorlds Public Vote Released], International Astronomical Union, 15 December 2015. The winning name was submitted by the Sociedad Astronomica Urania of Morelos, Mexico. 'Meztli' was the Aztec goddess of the Moon.{{Cite web |url=http://nameexoworlds.iau.org/names |title=NameExoWorlds The Approved Names |access-date=2015-12-31 |archive-date=2018-02-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180201043609/http://nameexoworlds.iau.org/names |url-status=dead }}
