Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 4 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 355.8 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 2279 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 228 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1798.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 456 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 418 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 12.7× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 2048 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. Roughly 2129× Earth's mass — about 6.7 Jupiters.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 13.2× your Earth weight standing here.
- Temperature. Around 581°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Bohyunsan Optical Astronomical Observatory using the radial velocity method.

How to see it
Like any astronomical target, eps CrB 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 eps CrB b is a trash exoplanet
eps CrB 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.
