Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 3.4 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 298 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 1908 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 191 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1835.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 382 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 7.7 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 3× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 27 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. Roughly 379× Earth's mass — about 1.2 Jupiters.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 42.1× your Earth weight standing here.
- Temperature. Around 787°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

How to see it
Like any astronomical target, HIP 94235 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.
Why HIP 94235 b is a trash exoplanet
HIP 94235 b scores 14 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Sub-Neptune and Found by TESS — 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.
