HIP 41378 b is an uncommon exoplanet. It lies about 346.7 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 8.93, has spectral type F6 and has an equilibrium temperature near 959 K.
It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.
At apparent magnitude 8.93, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 41378 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 41378 b scores 24 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Sub-Neptune 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.
