Suggested nameEukethea
Planet typeCold gas giant
This cold gas giant is named after the deity Eukethea, the demon of dreams.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to WASP-47 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Eukethea due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 6 percent of Hefran's, except at the highest elevations for short periods. The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 9 meters.

In 2582, images from Daedalus 5 showed Eukethea as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other cold gas giants.
