| Suggested name | Rirke |
| Planet type | Cold planet |
| It has the longest rotation period (445 days) of any planet in its solar system and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
The planet is named after the deity Rirke, the spirit of the sea.
Rirke's thick clouds render observation of its surface difficult in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 60 years ago.
In November 3300, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Rirke.
Rirke is primarily composed of ammonia with a significant part of its mass being nitrogen, though nitrogen comprises only about a tiny amount of the number of molecules. A prominent result is the "great black spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first seen by telescope. |
