Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameInyn-ucox
Planet typeLarge hot gas giant
It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.

When viewed from Ohup, Inyn-ucox 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. This large hot gas giant is named after the deity Inyn-ucox, the demon of destruction.

Inyn-ucox is gravitationally locked with WASP-99 in a 2:1 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

Inyn-ucox's dense clouds render observation of its surface impossible in infrared light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 26 years ago.

Inyn-ucox has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Hotchins orbiter.
