Polyphemus, the beautiful blue gas giant from the Avatar movie!





Polyphemus is the second of three gas giants orbiting Alpha Centauri A, 4.37 light years from Earth. Slightly smaller and denser than Jupiter, Polyphemus has no rings and fourteen moons, the most notable being . Originally, its name was Coeus.

Visually Polyphemus resembles a blue and purple version of Jupiter, with less prominent bands and a larger vortex storm. This large, eye-shaped storm is the source of the planet's name, that being Polyphemus.
