Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameSinusiso
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
This huge cold gas giant is named after the deity Sinusiso, the messenger of prosperity.

When viewed from Dihepsa, 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 has the densest atmosphere of the huge cold gas giants, consisting primarily of methane. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 30 bar, or roughly the pressure found 585 m under the oceans of Earth.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Sinusiso's strong magnetosphere.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 480 kilometers across when Sinusiso is closest because of Dihepsa's atmosphere.

Sinusiso is primarily composed of methane with a significant part of its mass being oxygen, though oxygen comprises only about a tiny amount of the number of molecules.
