Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 1.5 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 131.7 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 843 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 84.3 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1942.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 169 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 432 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 14.2× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2863 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 167× Earth's mass — about 0.5 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.8× your Earth weight standing here.
Density. Less dense than water — drop it in a big enough ocean and it would float.
Temperature. A frigid -90°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by W. M. Keck Observatory using the radial velocity method.

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 3 planets orbiting its star.

About HIP 57274 d

HIP 57274 d is a common exoplanet. It lies about 84.3 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 184 K, spans roughly 14.2 Earth radii and weighs about 167.4 Earth masses.

One of at least 3 planets orbiting its star.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, HIP 57274 d 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 57274 d is a common exoplanet

HIP 57274 d scores 15 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 9 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant and Multi-planet 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.
