In Avatar, what is the name of the gas giant that Pandora orbits?

In Avatar, Polyphemus is the gas giant that Pandora orbits.

Pandora is a fictional moon in James Cameron’s Avatar universe, not the Greek mythological figure or a planet in the film’s setting. It is located in the Alpha Centauri system and circles Polyphemus, a large blue gas giant. The moon’s dense forests, floating mountains, and unusual wildlife form the visual and ecological setting for much of the 2009 film.

Pandora is inhabited by the Na’vi, who maintain a spiritual and biological connection with the moon’s living systems. Human mining operations target unobtanium, a valuable mineral found there. The name “Pandora” is an intentional mythological reference, suggesting a world containing both extraordinary gifts and serious dangers.

Polyphemus is also a name from Greek mythology, where Polyphemus is the Cyclops encountered by Odysseus. In Avatar, however, it is used as the astronomical name of the gas giant. Pandora is commonly called a planet in casual discussion, but technically it is a moon.
