Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.6 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 228.2 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 1462 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 146 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1880.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 292 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 4.8 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 1.8× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 5.5 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. About 6.5× the mass of Earth.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 2.1× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. Around 728°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

Cosmic context

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

About HD 15337 b

HD 15337 b is a common exoplanet. It lies about 146.2 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 1,001 K, spans roughly 1.77 Earth radii and weighs about 6.52 Earth masses.

One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, HD 15337 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 HD 15337 b is a common exoplanet

HD 15337 b scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Super-Earth, Multi-planet system 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.
