Trivia

What makes it special

Frozen world. A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 19.5 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 1.7 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 11.1 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 1108 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 918.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 2215 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts about 10.9 Earth years.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.8× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2097 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 1834× Earth's mass — about 5.8 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 11.2× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A frigid -135°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the transit timing variations method.

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

About TOI-4562 c

TOI-4562 c is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 1,107.6 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 138 K, spans roughly 12.8 Earth radii and weighs about 1,833.87 Earth masses.

A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.

How to see it

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 43 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 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Long-period world, Multi-planet system and Distant (>1000 ly) — 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.
