Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameLyke'culo
Planet typeHuge 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 @STARNAME, which reoccurs over the so-called synodic period approximately every 58 days.

As seen from @STARNAME, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two years.

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 165°K (-108°C) at night to 455°K (182°C) during the day across the equatorial regions. The polar regions are constantly below 207°K (-66°C).
