That is one seriously whacked-out planet. An 80-odd hour year, atmospheric temperatures of 1100 degrees C, gaseous sodium in said atmosphere…the mind boggles. The astronomers are classifying it as a gas giant, but it's of a sort not found in this planetary system. No significant quantities of molecular hydrogen or other lightweights, I would assume.

Can you imagine the weather on this bastard??
