Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameAnan'taneu
Planet typeHot gas giant
Anan'taneu 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. Anan'taneu is orbiting WASP-2 A every 2.2 Earth days.

This hot gas giant is named after the deity Anan'taneu, the god of hate.

An observer on Anan'taneu would therefore see only one day every three years.

The polar regions are constantly below 135°K (-138°C).

Two spacecraft have visited Anan'taneu: Wayfinder 9 flew by 33 years ago; and Messenger, launched 20 years ago, orbited Anan'taneu over 50 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 8 years later.

Surrounding Anan'taneu is a irregular planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere.
