| Suggested name | Wuxan |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| When viewed from Yong Kanzh Ao, Wuxan 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. The planet is named after the deity Wuxan, the goddess of good fortune.
Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Wuxan's distance from HD 45364 is only about two-thirds (or 99 pct) of its distance at aphelion.
The volume of water detected has been estimated to be equivalent to the volume of water in Lake Superior.
In late February 2900, Wuxan was visited by the New Horizons probe, which used Wuxan's gravity to increase its speed and bend its trajectory en route to Yong Kanzh Ao. |
