Suggested nameYuen Eng
Planet typeSmall hot gas planet
In English, Yuen Eng is often referred to as the "red planet" because the 2H2O prevalent on its surface gives it a scary red appearance that is unusual among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye.

The interior of Yuen Eng is mainly composed of ices and rock. This small hot gas planet is named after the deity Yuen Eng, the demon of the underworld.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of ice. In November 3300, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Yuen Eng.

Yuen Eng has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Wayfinder flyby missions and later by the Hotchins orbiter.
