Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameAitny Iet
Planet typeHuge cold 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.

Aitny Iet's atmosphere is similar to Permun Hyto's in its primary composition of sulfur dioxide and carbonyl sulfide, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. It is named after the deity Aitny Iet, the god of the sky.

It may have had hydrogen deuteride (HD) oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

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 12 meters.

A prominent result is the "great brown spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first observed by radar.

Future targets for exploration in the Aitny Iet system include the probable ice-covered liquid ocean of its moon Hionnmathe.
