Kepler-22 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 634.8 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 11.75, has spectral type G5 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 279 K.
Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist on a surface here.
At apparent magnitude 11.75, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, Kepler-22 b is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
Kepler-22 b scores 60 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 18 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, In the habitable zone, Sub-Neptune, Eccentric orbit, Found by Kepler and Orbits a Sun-like star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
