Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameXengf
Planet typeSmall hot gas planet
The polar regions are constantly below 126°K (-147°C).

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of methane ice.

Because of its rapid rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).

very expensive trip.
