Trivia

What makes it special

Packed system. Crammed into a system of five or more planets.

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.6 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 234.7 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 1503 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 150 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1876.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 301 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 49.2 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 4.3× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 77.3 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. About 16.8× the mass of Earth.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.9× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A scorching 365°C on average.

How we found it

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

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 6 planets orbiting its star.

Why HD 34445 e is an uncommon exoplanet

HD 34445 e scores 29 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Neptune-like, Multi-planet system and Richly packed 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.
