Suggested nameVostungr
Planet typeCold gas giant
Vostungr is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. Vostungr is orbiting MOA-2016-BLG-532 every @ORBITALPERIOD Earth days.

It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 80°K (-193°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with molecular hydrogen thought to make up the lowest clouds, and argon the uppermost layer of clouds. The interior of Vostungr is mainly composed of ices and rock. The planet is named after the deity Vostungr, the creator of the sea.

Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, it has surface temperatures that vary diurnally more than on any other planet in its solar system, ranging from 60°K (-213°C) at night to 805°K (532°C) during the day across the equatorial regions.

In November 2300, NASA reported finding a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Vostungr.
