Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameDegatuq
Planet typeLarge cold gas giant
Degatuq is the largest and most crater filled planet in its solar system.

This planet is named after the deity Degatuq, the demon of the sky.

When viewed from Tiziziwa, this proximity to OGLE-2014-BLG-0676L means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

As seen from OGLE-2014-BLG-0676L, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

Degatuq has been explored on several occasions by robotic spacecraft, most notably during the early Pioneer and Daedalus flyby missions and later by the Isaac orbiter.
