Trivia

What makes it special

  • Goldilocks zone. Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 5.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 520.8 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 3336 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 334 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1692.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 667 years round-trip.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts just 274 Earth days.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 11.4× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 1482 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. Roughly 89× Earth's mass — about 0.3 Jupiters.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.7× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Density. Less dense than water — drop it in a big enough ocean and it would float.
  • Temperature. A surprisingly temperate -18°C average.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the transit timing variations method.

Cosmic context

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

About TOI-199 c

TOI-199 c is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 333.6 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 255 K, spans roughly 11.4 Earth radii and weighs about 88.99 Earth masses.

Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, TOI-199 c 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 TOI-199 c is a rare exoplanet

TOI-199 c scores 45 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, In the habitable zone, Gas giant 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.
