Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameHarlene-tus
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
In English, Harlene-tus is often referred to as the "blue planet" because the formaldehyde prevalent on its surface gives it a deep blue appearance that is distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

This huge cold gas giant is named after the deity Harlene-tus, the creator of the sea.

As seen from ISO-Oph176, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Harlene-tus's axis has the smallest tilt of any of its solar system's planets.

The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Harlene-tus are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.

Optical ground-based telescopes are typically limited to resolving features about 165 kilometers across when Harlene-tus is closest because of Earth's atmosphere.

The Harlene-tus system has a unique configuration among those of the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit.
