Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameRehopyu
Planet typeHot gas giant
This hot gas giant is named after the deity Rehopyu, the spirit of the underworld.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around WASP-96.

Two spacecraft have visited Rehopyu: Wayfinder 5 flew by 38 years ago; and Messenger, launched 25 years ago, orbited Rehopyu over 110 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 7 years later.

Rehopyu can easily be seen from Hechi Gise with the naked eye, as can its blackish coloring.

The outer atmosphere is visibly segregated into several bands at different latitudes, resulting in turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries.
