Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameUtema
Planet typeLarge hot gas giant
This large hot gas giant is named after the deity Utema, the messenger of fear.

Two spacecraft have visited Utema: Wayfinder 8 flew by 45 years ago; and Messenger, launched 23 years ago, orbited Utema over 125 times in four years before exhausting its pwoer source and crashing into the planet's surface 12 years later.

Utema is a large hot gas giant and is sometimes called Neda Ho's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to NGTS-21, and bulk composition.

Plans have been proposed for rovers or more complex missions, but they are hindered by Utema's strong magnetosphere.

A prominent result is the "great orange spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first detected by scanner.
