Suggested nameGanu
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
It is a huge cold gas giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of 2MASS J2026-2943, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every five revolutions it makes around 2MASS J2026-2943.

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

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
