Suggested nameReteto-xy
Planet typeSmall cold gas planet
This small cold gas planet is named after the deity Reteto-xy, the demon of destruction.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Reteto-xy's distance from TOI-1338 is only about two-thirds (or 102 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

Reteto-xy is a small cold gas planet and is sometimes called Earth's "twin planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to TOI-1338, and bulk composition. It may have had helium oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.

The Reteto-xy 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.
