Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameGwuqang'tyou
Planet typeHot gas giant
It is named after the deity Gwuqang'tyou, the god of nature.

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-37, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 99 days.

A prominent result is the "great yellow spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first observed by radar.

In 1787, images from Daedalus 4 showed Gwuqang'tyou as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other hot gas giants.
