| Suggested name | Shwutang |
| Planet type | Large cold gas giant |
| The planet telescopically displays the complete range of phases, similar to Venus and the Moon, as it moves in its inner orbit relative to KMT-2021-BLG-0322, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 70 days.
It may have had formaldehyde oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.
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 14 meters. |
