Suggested nameMyunyu
Planet typeHot gas giant
This planet is named after the deity Myunyu, the spirit of love and beauty.

When viewed from Hibiso Pyoyo, this proximity to WASP-123 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

It has the densest atmosphere of the hot gas giants, consisting of huge amounts of carbon monoxide. The sulfur dioxide has probably photodissociated, and the free carbon monoxide has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field.

Myunyu was one of the first planets to have its motions plotted across the sky - as early as the second millennium BC.

Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Hibiso Pyoyo, Myanowa Me, and WASP-123.

Myunyu 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. In late February 1200, Myunyu was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Myunyu's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Hibiso Pyoyo.
