Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameNkochu Gyu
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every three revolutions it makes around @STARNAME.

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 55°K (-218°C) at night to 980°K (707°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

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

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of rock.
