Trivia
What makes it special
- Heavyweight. Packed denser than solid iron.
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 5.8 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 513.1 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 3286 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 329 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1697.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 657 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts about 2.3 Earth years.
By the numbers
- Size. About 12.4× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 1907 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. Roughly 3525× Earth's mass — about 11.1 Jupiters.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 22.9× your Earth weight standing here.
- Density. Denser than solid iron.
- Temperature. A scorching 397°C on average.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by La Silla Observatory using the radial velocity method.

How to see it
Like any astronomical target, HD 110014 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 HD 110014 b is an uncommon exoplanet
HD 110014 b scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant and Denser than iron — 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.
