Suggested nameNweit Ying
Planet typeLarge hot gas giant
It is named after the deity Nweit Ying, the messenger of the sea.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to WASP-161 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning.

The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 20 percent of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.

There are ongoing investigations assessing the future terraforming potential of Nweit Ying, as well as the possibility of extant life.

In 2085, images from Daedalus 8 showed Nweit Ying as an almost featureless planet in visible light, without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other large hot gas giants.
