47 UMa b is an anomaly exoplanet. It lies about 45 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 5.03, has spectral type G0V and has an equilibrium temperature near 215 K.
Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist on a surface here.
At apparent magnitude 5.03, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 47 UMa 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.
47 UMa b scores 83 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the anomaly tier. Another 37 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, In the habitable zone, Gas giant, Multi-planet system, Its star is visible to the naked eye, Orbits a Sun-like star and Found before the year 2000 — 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.
