Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
When viewed from Earth, this proximity to @STARNAME means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 29 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

A prominent result is the "great orange spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.
