Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 48.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 4.3 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 27.8 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 2781 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. Its light left before the last ice age ended.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 5563 years round-trip.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts just 77.5 Earth days.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 13.4× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 2406 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. Roughly 572× Earth's mass — about 1.8 Jupiters.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 3.2× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Temperature. A scorching 410°C on average.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the radial velocity method.

About 13.4× the width of Earth.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, NGC 2682 Sand 1429 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 NGC 2682 Sand 1429 b is a common exoplanet

NGC 2682 Sand 1429 b scores 19 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant 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.
