Trivia

Could we get there?

Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 355.4 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 31.6 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 202.2 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 20.2 thousand light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. This light set out before Homo sapiens existed.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 40.4 thousand years round-trip.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.6× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2000 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 2470× Earth's mass — about 7.8 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 15.6× your Earth weight standing here.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by KMTNet using the microlensing method.

Why KMT-2025-BLG-0121L b is an uncommon exoplanet

KMT-2025-BLG-0121L b scores 31 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Found by microlensing and Distant (>1000 ly) — 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.
