Gaia23braL b is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 14,122.6 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 19.86, has an equilibrium temperature near 129 K and spans roughly 13.5 Earth radii.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 19.86, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, Gaia23braL 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.
Gaia23braL b scores 35 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 15 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Gas giant, Frozen world and Found by microlensing — 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.
