mul (d)EN.GIŠGAL.AN.NA is a name for Jupiter.
Visibility & Appearance
Jupiter is the second brightest planet after Venus, but its light is more yellowish than Venus and its motion is slower which is why Jupiter was considered more majestic and identified with the heads of pantheons, and hence Marduk in Mesopotamia. Jupiter is a planet of our solar system and observable with the naked eye. It is the second brightest planet after Venus, but his light is more yellowish than hers and his motion is slower which is why he was considered more majestetic and regarded as "king planet" by many cultures.
