Newton's Planet

Newton's Planet is a gas giant located in the Outer Arm of the Milky Way. It orbits Newton's Star, and possesses 87 moons, the largest of which is Newton's Moon, the home of the Non-Newtonian species.

Characteristics

Like all gas giants, Newton's Planet is primarily composed of hydrogen, followed by methane and helium. The planet's atmosphere also contains water vapor clouds, just like the ones on Earth. These clouds typically manifest as lightly colored bands that line the circumference of the planet thanks to its fast rotation.
Newton's Planet is about twice the mass of Jupiter. The high amount of methane in the planet's chemical composition would normally give it a blue color, yet the core of this planet is so hot that it gives the planet a red glow, which manifests as deep purple on the outside. The planet has an effective temperature of over 500 K.
