Trivia

What makes it special

Frozen world. A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.
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. ≈ 1.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 147.5 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 944 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 94.4 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1932.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 189 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts about 72.5 Earth years.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.2× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 1816 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 5741× Earth's mass — about 18.1 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 38.6× your Earth weight standing here.
Density. Denser than solid iron.
Temperature. A frigid -212°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the radial velocity method.

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

Why HD 111232 c is an epic exoplanet

HD 111232 c scores 60 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 8 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Long-period world, Eccentric orbit, Denser than iron and Multi-planet system — 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.
