Suggested name | Inyn-ucox |
Planet type | Large 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. |
