| Suggested name | Eureat |
| Planet type | Hot gas giant |
| Eureat is the oldest planet known belonging to WASP-124 and one of the largest in its solar system. It is a hot gas giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of WASP-124, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. This planet is named after the deity Eureat, the god of destruction.
The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to WASP-124, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 191 days.
Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Eureat due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 5 percent of Mnegir Lyke's, except at the lowest elevations for limited periods. The two polar ice caps appear to be made largely of frozen gas.
In late February 1600, Eureat was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Eureat's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Mnegir Lyke. The latest probe to visit the planet is Pointer, which entered into orbit around Eureat after a challenging voyage. |
