Trivia

What makes it special

  • Lava world. Its surface is likely an ocean of molten rock.
  • Heavyweight. Packed denser than solid iron.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.6 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 228.9 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 1466 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 147 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1879.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 293 years round-trip.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 14.7× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 3166 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. Roughly 4767× Earth's mass — about 15 Jupiters.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 22.1× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Density. Denser than solid iron.
  • Temperature. Around 1030°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Satellite Mission using the imaging method.

About BD+60 1417 b

BD+60 1417 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 146.6 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 1,303 K, spans roughly 14.68 Earth radii and weighs about 4,767.43 Earth masses.

Its surface is likely an ocean of molten rock.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, BD+60 1417 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 BD+60 1417 b is an epic exoplanet

BD+60 1417 b scores 67 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Hot Jupiter, Lava world, Denser than iron and Directly imaged — 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.
