Fictional info (?) |
Suggested name | Wuxwang |
Planet type | Large hot gas giant |
The planet is named after the deity Wuxwang, the creator of the underworld.
It has the densest atmosphere of the two large hot gas giants, consisting primarily of ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH).
The latest probe to visit the planet is Racer, which entered into orbit around Wuxwang after a lengthy journey.
In 1887, images from Frontier 4 showed Wuxwang as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other large hot gas giants. |
Atmosphere | Ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH) | 61% |
Sulfur dioxide | 24% |
Hydrogen deuteride (HD) | 14% |
Carbon monoxide | 0.25% |
Atmospheric pressure | 9 bar |
