EPIC 229004835 b is a common exoplanet. It lies about 397.8 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.23, has an equilibrium temperature near 804 K and spans roughly 2.33 Earth radii.
It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.
At apparent magnitude 10.23, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, EPIC 229004835 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.
EPIC 229004835 b scores 18 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Sub-Neptune and Orbits a Sun-like star — 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.
