Gaia-4 b is a trash exoplanet. It lies about 239.7 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 12.4, spans roughly 12.4 Earth radii and weighs about 3,750.38 Earth masses.
Denser than Earth — a solid world of rock and iron, with no meaningful atmosphere to speak of by mass.
At apparent magnitude 12.4, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, Gaia-4 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.
Gaia-4 b scores 9 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 2 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet and Gas giant — 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.
