NGTS-38 b is a trash exoplanet. It lies about 876.2 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.22, has an equilibrium temperature near 457 K and spans roughly 12.12 Earth radii.
Its density says rock, though lighter than Earth's mix: probably less iron, or a thick shell of water and ice over the top.
At apparent magnitude 10.22, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, NGTS-38 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.
NGTS-38 b scores 13 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant and Found by TESS — 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.
