Kepler-408 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 289.6 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 8.83, has an equilibrium temperature near 1,561 K and spans roughly 0.82 Earth radii.
Genuinely comparable to Earth in size. Worlds in this narrow band are the ones every next-generation telescope is being pointed at.
At apparent magnitude 8.83, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, Kepler-408 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-408 b scores 52 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 26 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Earth-sized, Lava world, Tidally locked, Blasted by starlight and Found by Kepler — 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.
