Suggested nameBwap Wen
Planet typeCold planet
This planet is named after the deity Bwap Wen, the messenger of destruction.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to HD 360 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

Bwap Wen is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the past habitability potential of Bwap Wen, as well as the possibility of extant life. In November 3300, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Bwap Wen.

Bwap Wen is primarily composed of carbonyl sulfide with a significant part of its mass being nitrogen, though nitrogen comprises only about a limited fraction of the number of molecules.

Bwap Wen has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Frontier flyby missions and later by the Galileo orbiter.
