Fictional info (?) Suggested name Yanzyong Planet type Large cold gas giant It is named after the deity Yanzyong, the demon of the sea. At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Chyao-k. Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Yanzyong's distance from KMT-2017-BLG-1038 is only about two-thirds (or 46 pct) of its distance at aphelion. Two spacecraft have visited Yanzyong: Wayfinder 3 flew by 51 years ago; and Messenger, launched 23 years ago, orbited Yanzyong over 155 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's surface 11 years later. Yanzyong's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism. As one of the most prominent objects in the sky, Yanzyong has been a major fixture in native culture for as long as records have existed. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Yanzyong are likewise similar to those of Chyao-k, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Yanzyong due to low atmospheric pressure, which is less than 8 percent of Earth's, except at the lowest elevations for limited periods.
