Trivia
What it actually is
- 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 13.2 it is far too faint for the eye: this one belongs to cameras and long exposures.
- Northern sky. It rides the northern half of the sky — an easier target the further north you are.
- Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around November — that's when to go looking.
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 179.6 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.

How to see it
At apparent magnitude 13.22, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, TOI-1634 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-1634 c is an uncommon exoplanet
TOI-1634 c scores 31 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 3 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Multi-planet system, Orbits a red dwarf and Two suns in its sky — 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.
