HIP 70849 b is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 78.5 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.42, has spectral type K7 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 79 K.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 10.42, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 70849 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.
HIP 70849 b scores 38 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 12 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Eccentric orbit and Two suns in its sky — 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.
