HD 164604 b is a common exoplanet. It lies about 128.4 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 9.62, has spectral type K3.5 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 170 K.
Denser than Earth — a solid world of rock and iron, with no meaningful atmosphere to speak of by mass.
At apparent magnitude 9.62, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HD 164604 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.
HD 164604 b scores 15 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant and Multi-planet system — 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.
