Trivia

What it actually is

  • Hugging its star. It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.
  • What it is made of. Too light to be solid rock and too heavy to be all gas: most likely a deep global ocean or a thick steamy envelope over a rocky core.

Find it in the sky

  • How to spot it. At magnitude 14.5 it is far too faint for the eye: this one belongs to cameras and long exposures.
  • Northern sky. It rides the northern half of the sky — an easier target the further north you are.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around July — that's when to go looking.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts just 38.3 Earth days.
  • Starlight here. It receives about 12.6 times as much starlight as Earth gets from the Sun.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 2.3× the width of Earth.

About Kepler-1760 b

Kepler-1760 b is a trash exoplanet. It shines at apparent magnitude 14.47, has an equilibrium temperature near 480 K, spans roughly 2.29 Earth radii and weighs about 5.86 Earth masses.

It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.

How to see it

At apparent magnitude 14.47, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.

Like any astronomical target, Kepler-1760 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.

Why Kepler-1760 b is a trash exoplanet

Kepler-1760 b scores 13 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Sub-Neptune 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.
