Fictional info (?) Suggested name Bericho Rutsu Planet type Hot gas giant It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Gotapopya, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, often, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. Bericho Rutsu is the oldest planet known belonging to XO-2N and one of the largest in its solar system. It is named after the deity Bericho Rutsu, the god of the underworld. When viewed from Gotapopya, this proximity to XO-2N means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning. An observer on Bericho Rutsu would therefore see only one summer every two years. It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on. It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other hot gas giants, Bericho Rutsu lacks a well-defined solid surface.
