TOI-561 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 279.8 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.25, has spectral type G9 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 2,319 K.
So hot that iron vaporises on the dayside, blows around to the night side and rains back down as molten metal.
At apparent magnitude 10.25, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, TOI-561 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.
TOI-561 b scores 75 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 8 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Super-Earth, Ultra-hot Jupiter, Ultra-short period, Multi-planet system, Blasted by starlight, Found by TESS 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.
