Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameOukwangk
Planet typeCold planet
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 40°K (-233°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with ozone thought to make up the lowest clouds, and hydrogen deuteride (HD) the uppermost layer of clouds.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly four times for every three revolutions it makes around GJ 176.

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