Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameSigirso Masao
Planet typeHot gas giant
When viewed from Reioao Kathe, Sigirso Masao can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. The planet is named after the deity Sigirso Masao, the bringer of good fortune.

Sigirso Masao is gravitationally locked with WASP-138 in a 5:4 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

Surrounding Sigirso Masao is a faint planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.

Sigirso Masao has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Galileo orbiter. The latest probe to visit the planet is Pointer, which entered into orbit around Sigirso Masao after a very expensive voyage.
