| Suggested name | Thitis |
| Planet type | Hot gas giant |
| It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 35°K (-238°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with 2H2O thought to make up the lowest clouds, and krypton the uppermost layer of clouds. The planet is named after the deity Thitis, the bringer of prosperity.
As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly five times for every two revolutions it makes around HAT-P-38.
It is radically different from Pakephaë in other respects. It has the densest atmosphere of the three hot gas giants, consisting partly of krypton.
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 6 meters.
A prominent result is the "great red spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.
The latest probe to visit the planet is Juno, which entered into orbit around Thitis after a very expensive voyage.
Wind speeds can reach 68 metres per second. |
