Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 49.3 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 4.4 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 28 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 2803 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. Its light left before the last ice age ended.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 5605 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts about 2 Earth years.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.7× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2048 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 2002× Earth's mass — about 6.3 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 12.4× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A scorching 240°C on average.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by La Silla Observatory using the radial velocity method.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, IC 4651 9122 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 IC 4651 9122 b is a common exoplanet

IC 4651 9122 b scores 19 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant 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.
