Trivia

What makes it special

  • JWST find. Discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, the largest telescope ever flown.

What it actually is

  • What it is made of. Denser than Earth — a solid world of rock and iron, with no meaningful atmosphere to speak of by mass.

Find it in the sky

  • Seen from everywhere. It sits almost on the celestial equator, so it can be seen from essentially anywhere on Earth.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around November — that's when to go looking.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts about 7 Earth years.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 12.6× the width of Earth.
  • Temperature. A scorching 52°C on average.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 16.5× your Earth weight standing here.

Why WISE J033605.05-014350.4 b is an epic exoplanet

WISE J033605.05-014350.4 b scores 53 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 25 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Found by JWST, Directly imaged and Orbits a red dwarf — 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.
