Suggested nameBiwo
Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Hepyata Kya, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

The interior of Biwo is mainly composed of ices and magma. This large cold gas giant is named after the deity Biwo, the messenger of destruction.

The polar regions are constantly below 261°K (-12°C).

It is radically different from Hepyata Kya in other respects.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Biwo 1600 and ExoBiwo rovers. 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 16 meters.

Its apparent magnitude reaches -3, which is surpassed only by Hepyata Kya, Norapecho Nyo, and KMT-2016-BLG-2397.
