Fictional info (?)
Suggested namePakupya
Planet typeHot gas giant
It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in its solar system, with a minimum temperature of 40°K (-233°C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with neon thought to make up the lowest clouds, and ozone the uppermost layer of clouds. This hot gas giant is named after the deity Pakupya, the god of dreams.

At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Nopyu'ri.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Pakupya's distance from NGTS-16 is only about two-thirds (or 56 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

Wind speeds can reach 72 metres per second.
