16 Cyg B b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 68.9 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 229 K, spans roughly 13.5 Earth radii and weighs about 565.74 Earth masses.
Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist.
Like any astronomical target, 16 Cyg B 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.
16 Cyg B b scores 48 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 20 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, In the habitable zone, Gas giant and Eccentric orbit — 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.
