A lot of reaction mass there for a nuclear-powered rocket to make a return trip.

Of course, it’s density is probably pretty low. But enough to refract the Sun’s rays around the planet.

Oh dear. I called it a “planet.” The language police will be after me now.

During one of the briefings I heard one of the lead scientists running the mission call it a planet and then say, “You heard me, it’s a planet”. You’re in good company
