Trivia

What makes it special

  • Frozen world. A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.

What it actually is

  • What it is made of. Its density says rock, though lighter than Earth's mix: probably less iron, or a thick shell of water and ice over the top.
  • Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

Sense of scale

  • In perspective. Far away by human standards, yet still a local address inside the Milky Way's spiral arms.

Find it in the sky

  • How to spot it. At magnitude 12.1 it is far too faint for the eye: this one belongs to cameras and long exposures.
  • Southern sky only. So far south it never rises for most of the northern hemisphere. To see it you'd have to travel to Chile, South Africa or Australia.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around January — that's when to go looking.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

About TOI-4562 c

TOI-4562 c is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 1,107.6 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 12.14, has spectral type F7 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 138 K.

A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.

How to see it

At apparent magnitude 12.14, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.

Like any astronomical target, TOI-4562 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-4562 c is a rare exoplanet

TOI-4562 c scores 47 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Gas giant, Frozen world, Long-period world, Multi-planet system and Orbits a Sun-like star — 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.
