Bura

Bura, also known as Etra b, CelWP M2 b, or WI 135643 b is the first and largest planet around the pulsar Etra. It has no moons and was released in CelWP Release 7 along with the rest of the Etra system.

Physical Characteristics
Bura is a hot jupiter, which is a near jupiter mass planet orbiting close to its star. Because of this, Bura has a huge effect on the orbits of the other planet in the system, Palsa, causing its orbit to rapidly precess. The large amount of high-frequency radiation from the pulsar makes the planet heat up and expand, making it waay larger than many scientists thought possible, due to some calculations from hydrostatic equilibrium. This did not take into account temperature, because some intern had spilled coffee all over that section of the supercomputer. Idiots.

The high temperature also causes fierce winds, causing the notable clouds on this planet. They do look rather cool, if I say so myself. However, this makes it rather hard to build cool-lookin cloud bases on them, even after temperature is taken into account.

Atmosphere
Bura's atmosphere is an extremely hot envelope of gases that constantly whip across the planet at ludicrous speeds. The extreme pressure difference on the two sides of Bura, caused by the extreme pressure difference caused by its tidal locking, drives winds that commonly surpass twice the speed of sound. On the day side, the atmosphere turns into plasma after being heated to extreme temperatures. Meanwhile, the night side of the planet radiates this heat away and condenses back into cooler gases, causing the worldwide ridiculous pressure gradient that drives the really high winds.

Orbit and Rotation
This planet recently formed in close to its present location after the Etra Supernova destroyed the planets in the old system. However, scientists dont presently know much about this system's history, and as such, this is not confirmed.

Bura is tidally locked.

Moons
